There are drunken moments in all mens lives. Moments where people may question the very character of the person speaking to them, and question the motives of the words spoken into ears of infinite wisdom. This night however backward and different from all those that have come before, it has the sense of change and total difference from all the days that have come before. I swear unto you this day, that if I worked all my life, and lived to the books moral code, that no matter how hard I tried, no matter how hard I toiled and no matter how hard I broke my back for the race, that I would never get to a moment as utterly resplendent as this moment now, where air dances in the ears, and the waves that enter change the waves that leave forever more, people may question my way of life, but they cant tell me that I don’t work, look into my eyes and tell me that when I say I have a job its insincere, you cant, because I only say what I believe and my opinion is as valid as any man woman or child. Test me with your resolve and you will find me unyielding, in my heart I believe that all men, in their place are as important as any other. Though this thought may be rebuked as utterly socialist or communist, I tell you this night that its not, I believe in the freedom of all peoples of the world, but I also have many thoughts that would challenge the ideas of all thoughts of government that have been established before my coming of age, and I tell you in absolute candor, that the thoughts in my head are challenging, but they are my own and important. You dont have to listen, but if you have ears, it might be worth your time.
