It's Nation Time! Are you ready?
I know what time it is!
It is now!
It every age and every time it is always now.
Now is all there is.
In Mr. Garvey's time it was now.
In Denmark Vesey's time it was now.
It is always now.
Now is the time - the only time.
Mr. Garvey and the other did what they did in there time - in there moment of now.
The time now is to get up off the grave our ancestors - let them REST IN PEACE and distinguish for myself: WHAT TIME IT IS.
Yes it is now.
Now, what is my life for?
What is this moment, now, for?
What can I be counted on to accomplish NOW.
Am I advancing the baton?
In a relay, any race, there is no looking back.
There is only "Keeping your eyes on the prize" - the finish line.
The first leg of the relay has been run.
NOW, I must run my leg of the race - NOW.
I wonder, will my ancestor be as proud of me as I am of them?
This is the moment.
Now is the time.
Let the dead Rest In Peace, please.
