Original Poem: One Man Awake

Lawrence Tribble 1740

One man awake,
Awakens another.
The second awakens
His next door brother.
The three awake can rouse a town
By turning
the whole place
Upside down

The many awake
Can cause such a fuss
It finally awakens the rest of us.
One man up,
With dawn in his eyes
Surely then
Multiplies

Can One person make a difference?

We embarked on a journey more than 2 years ago to change the status quo. We all realized that we could no longer tolerate the way our elected representatives were conducting business. We also realized at that time that the only way we were going to change that was to throw out the incumbent, career politicians and put new people in there who would listen to us and not the Party bosses. We made great strides in the 2010 Elections, replacing approximately 86 of them. It went a long way to show us that when we come together, we can accomplish what looked impossible 3 years ago. I grant you that this accomplishment was We The People exerting their authority over those that are supposed to represent us, but, it was the individual that made it happen. We woke up, we researched, we spoke up and we spread the word, and each one of those individual voices became a power to be recond with. It is still the individual that will affect those changes today and in the future. We must all, individually, remain connected, speak our minds and do our research and above all, Spread the word. Many voices change the process, one voice makes up the many. Without you, me or our neighbor, we will never be “The Many”.

Stay connected, it does truly matter.

One Man Awake

One Man Awake

-Author Unknown

One man awake awakens another,
the second awakens his next-door neighbor,
and three awake can rouse the town,
and turn the whole place upside down.
And many awake can raise such a fuss
that it finally awakens the rest of us.
One man up with dawn in his eyes, multiplies.
