And this remarkable News Bulletin just in from The Daily Triumph:
It turns out that the poor are smarter than the rich! Because the rich THINK they don’t have enough money, whereas the poor KNOW they don’t have enough money. This presents us with a problem, because it’s the rich who are running our world. On the other hand, there is strength in numbers, and at last report there are countless more-smart poor people on earth than there are less-smart rich people. So!—the poor are not only smarter than the rich, they are also stronger! This is extremely encouraging as we valiantly try to fix this mess.
And then the people reawakened to their common memory
of the origin and destiny of life.
And the people were on fire
with the power of their purpose,
and life became one chance
to make one choice, and then:
Lo! the river blended now
from countless years a-building
to form a force that shattered now
the way it just had been.
Through what had been impregnable
it cut at once a valley—
a force that carved its course
out of sheer necessity.
The injustice of their suffering made their strength enduring;
their righteous flame a-burning propelled them to survive.
For there is more than strength in numbers,
there is human will amassing,
and the holy power of blamelessness cannot be denied.
And the people were of one heart, one mind, and ever growing,
and the power of the people felt just like the will of God.
And like a tide a-turning,
like a ship that’s coming in,
like a constant confirmation
was the people’s power to win!
