The world continually turns forgetting the embers that continue to glow in red. Ever burning heat of the past that silently grows and devours. 'We The People' is a fallacy in the logistics of the world we live in. In order for there to be a we there must be a unified 'I'. In the lack of love for all, there only becomes a love of gain. This is the Western imperialistic way of moving throughout history. Overcoming and overtaking, leaving a greater divide rather than an inclusive conclusive connection. 'The' is the principle of a continued now, and diligent present that cannot be swayed away from the uncertain future. It is the principle that connects not just sentences and thoughts on paper, but does the like in the world of action. It is practical, when only a wise practicality is embedded in its purpose.

'People', now this is where history is forgotten, the present neglected, and the future becomes a premeditated excuse for injustice and division through hate. The essence of hate is the abandonment of the God given human nature to love. To state that 'people' is subjective to one race is ignorance in the highest plateau of degradation. A fuller realization of 'people' is the inclusivity of a all that exist on this planet. To ignore the cries of one 'people' is to negate the prowess's of your own. In order to know who your 'own' are is to understand that we are all a connected people. There are no coincidences in the moments of true peace and rationality in how we connect in simple moments of laughter and gestures of revelation.

'We The People' is defined but the connected histories of all people. America cannot write her histories without the extensive explanations and stories of ALL 'people'. We are a country of select knowledge and continual ignorance that surmounts the expansiveness of the solar system. Time for simply brushing the truth of your world is to be put to an end. We are born free, but constantly in debt to the ignorance of ALL histories that leave us poorer in culture and knowledge.

There is no mistake that the journey to the reality of the world we live in will be one of great effort. On the contrary the ease of exposing the truth’s that have existed for eons takes but a moment. However, the profitability of those who are of knowledge is to give all that they can to the ignorant. We have become a nation that detests progress and fights for the very damnation that plagues our nation. To see every history is to eliminate the repetitive nature of injustices and division. This is the time for action, and against the causes of hiding the very nurturing fruit of our history. We cannot continue as a people that hides the vulgar truth of the country we exist in and the monuments of oppression that created the foundations of our nation in blood and enslavement.

Do not write history if the accuracy of the truth is not completely fulfilled. Do not discuss slavery as if it is not still current, do not leave out the oppressive nature of how this country was created to ease the hearts of the oppressor, expand and show the truth. The blood the flows through the very soil of this country is to never be forgotten and to never be drowned out. The creations that lead to America's trajectories into being the country to be envied, is embedded in the 'peoples' whose history has been hidden until it benefits with a monetary gain. The true cost of history is that if the truth is not revealed, our children's children will leave in a loop-hole of perpetual foolishness. The only return on investment that can be derived from the truth of all 'peoples' history is the wisdom of society and the love of all community.
