I have debated if now was the right time to say this. Is right now the time to call on the people of Newnan? Are they ready for this, right now, at this time? The time, though, could it be right? Now? Time? The time? Right now?
And after a month of self-reflection on my principles, I decided it was only the right time right now to speak to the people. Those gifted with a social platform can NOT standby while things get worse. We have a responsibility–NAY! We have a double responsibility! A doubsibility! If I don’t say this then who will? If I can’t make a change for Newnan, will anyone?
Ladies. Gentlemen. Non-binaries. All of Newnan.
It’s time that we DO THE DAMN THING!
When I moved here at the age of two, I could already see that this thing would need done. Even as a child it was messing with my life. My father, god rest his soul (he’s still alive, but like, pre-rest his soul), told my brothers and I, “one day, the damn thing will have to be done. I am counting on you.” I made a promise right then and there that when I had the power to do the damn thing, I would do it so hard that he’d feel it four states over, with his new wife and son.
It won’t be easy. Have you seen the state of things? It’ll take hours and hours of hard work. And I, in my measly state of affairs, can NOT do this damn thing alone. Come together with me, Newnan. Take my hand and let’s DO THIS (the damn thing).
You know where to meet me.
Let’s do it tonight.
Whichever night you’re reading this.
I’ll be at the place we’ve discussed.
This is not JUST a revolution. This is a STATEMENT to the POWERS that think we can’t DO THE DAMN THING.
