People Power

People Power

Last week in Australia, People Power rose up against a stupid decision made by our Federal and State Governments to sell our Hydro Electric Scheme, located in NSW.

I have contemplated this event and the outcome all this week. People Power!

People Power has shown to be a very strong force in this matter, so why can we not keep this momentum rolling, worldwide?

Lets look at the words individually, in simple terms for this exersise:

People: Human Beings; the mass of ordinary persons; the populace.
People are family, relatives, ancestors, fellow citizens of the World.
People come in all shapes, sizes, and colours.

Power: The capacity to perform or act effectively is a choice we make personally.
The might of a nation, political organization, or similar group.
The power of a government to exercise REASONABLE control over persons and property within its jurisdiction in the interest of the general security, health, safety, morals, and welfare except where legally prohibited (as by constitutional provision)

People are Humans, the Ordinary People are the majority of the populace, not the Elite or the ELECTED Government.

There is a message here:

ELECTION: is a decision making process whereby people vote for a preferred political candidate or party to act as representatives in government.

So we the People have given our Power to the Governments and with this trust they have and continue to let us down.

People are currently disempowered or invisible in our political system, we must regain our power.

People must regain Power to find Peace.

"power to the people"

Peace is commonly understood to mean the absence of hostilities.

Peace is not a symbol, peace is a mindset.

John Lennon wrote:

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world

You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You'd better free your mind instead

AND

Imagine

No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Thank you Mr Lennon.

"Imagine" a "revolution" by the People, for the People full of the Power of Peace.

All we are saying is give Peace a Chance.

Come on People, lets start NOW.
