The Pledge of a Common Man





I am a common man
I love, laugh, work and breathe, all in common ways
I have no political power, no mandate 
I have a common voice, but it shall be strong
I will use that tool in support of common people everywhere 
I will not be silent in the face of injustice
I will not ignore the cries of my brothers and sisters
I will speak on behalf of those with no voice
I am a common man 
I will stand and be counted





To my brothers and sisters world wide, living in what seems like never ending conflict; I recognize that we are oft caught in the gears of the machine.  Guard yourselves, persevere the storm.  For the kings and powers of this world will pass away, and only the common man will remain.
