Dear Leaders

A Letter to All in Power in this Day and Age

You were born to lead. So lead. You were not born to be a slave to corporate greed and its ripping claws. Do not be intimidated by it, for you are not a slave. You needn't be afraid of losing power, of not being elected anew. We, the billions will stand by you when the going gets tough, as long as you act like the true leaders you are, and not as slaves.

You see, the time has come to decide whether we want to live or die off in this century. Whether we want to live in famine, trembling with dread, fearing war, the next mega fire or mega flood. Hiding from tornadoes in cellars only to find our homes in ruins whence we emerge above ground again. We know some of you are too afraid to realize that this can happen. It is not myth, it is not somewhere far away in the future, this is happening now, in front of our eyes. Can you not see? The unimaginable forces of fire, water and wind have just begun to reveal their power, inevitably followed by famine and war soon to come if we do not break free from this slavery we are collectively promoting.

Perhaps some of you are imagining this is only happening to us, the people, the herd, perhaps only in TV sets, hidden somewhere away from your offices and chairs in higher places. It is not. It is happening to you equally, except that some of you are truly blind and truly are slaves at heart, hardened by fear and fake promises of happiness and even faker safety that you think power, money and reputations bring. The truth is this: you will not get our votes with smiles, sweet words and promises, nor our support by forcing hand shaking. Those of you who still are blind will rather feel our rage! You cannot imagine what the mass of us billions is capable of.

You are witnessing a new age being born. The old mentality is dying and will soon become ash. This is the age of warriors, of people who are left with nothing to lose, thus making them ten fold stronger, harder and braver. So beware. Feel our power. Feel our rage fueled by your inaction. Be a leader, not a slave. No corporate board, no committee will ask you to break your chains. But we, the people demand it. Set yourself free. Have courage or at least work on it rapidly.

We are sure most of you haven't a clue what to do and are scared, not wanting to be the black sheep, depleted of a good name. Never the less act. It is not that hard really. Ask for our help, build bonds with us, we have all the knowledge you will ever need to succeed. We, who live in your families, your neighborhoods, your towns, cities and countries have the answers. Your part of our collective success is to lead. To lead us into a future where we are proud of our leaders, wanting to shake their hands and pat their backs knowing they have the collective good at heart. But those who stay mentally in the old world, shall perish together with it. Join us and be part of a new beginning, which you are proud to lead.

Want more power? This only means you are feeling weak. But you are not. Want more wealth? This only means you think you are not good enough as you are. But you are. Don't want to stand out? No matter, you needn't do. Just lead by example and stay silent if you are too afraid to speak. And those of you who dare to speak let your voice be multiplied by our billion voices. Those of you who dare to demand change from your fellow leaders know this: we stand by and behind you. We, the billions have already started and are expecting you to step away from your chains and join us as we do what needs to be done: green power, equity, and the good of all beings is the future. This is the only way or there is no future at all. There is no such thing as believers and skeptics any more. Only those who are blind and those who see. Open your eyes.

Be the future with us, for you were born to lead and are not a slave. So lead.
