40 Days To The Revolution
I consider myself a Christian. The Season of Lent, (the 40 days between "Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday,) is a season of sacrifice for most Christians. I look at it differently. In my interpretation of The New Testament, Jesus spent most of this time preparing himself, his Disciples, his and followers for the revolution that was to come. He taught them how to pray, he taught them how to fast, he gave them direction on how to spread the word. He lead by example in focusing his teachings and efforts towards the poor and less fortunate and those on the fringe of society because they were the most at risk of being exploited by the most powerful people in society.
Right now we are at a point in human history where the poor, less fortunate, and the people on the fringe are being exploited more than ever in our history and most especially in our country. In a series of post I'm naming "40 Days to a Revolution," I will dedicate my Season of Lent toward preparing myself and others for the coming revolution.
In closing, a line from 1 of my favorite hip-hop artist, "They won't televise the revolution, I figured out a solution, all you need is the net to be a witness." - Joe Budden, from the song "Money's on Me."
