So I appeal to you,

Men of courage

Women of strength.

Boys of vision,

And girls of moxie.

I appeal to you in love,

Regardless of your color,

Tone,

Ethnicity,

Hair type,

Eye color,

Vehicle preference,

or whether you say “pop”, “soda”, or “Coke”.

I appeal to your hearts,

And beg that love be our legacy.

It falls on us.

Today.

Tomorrow will be too late.

And if we allow the sun to fall beyond the horizon in hate,

We shoulder the blame for the black-hole sun that rises

the very next day.

Love is the better way.

Of this I am sure.

Choose it.

Embrace it.

Become steadfast in it.
