I told you...don't lose hope in humanity. People want to help you. They are there, just confused.
You are a match. You spark their memory. So they remember they're capable of change. Capable of pushing others to be better. Capable of starting something big.
I don't care if it's been raining all day. It's still possible to start a fire when the drops have subsided. It may be slow going at first. A little smoke, a signal to other sparks that you are rubbing your hands together, gearing up for the big event.
Then, crack! The flames begin. Your doing. You...all by yourself. You've lit a flame so powerful, it could bring the entire forest to it's knees in a matter of minutes.
Don't take the power lightly. It's fuel, inside you, waiting to be used. Nectar for the orange, red, and blue flames dancing around and thankful to be free to spark other, smaller fires of the future.
I see the smoke. Your smoke. Will you light the fire this time?
Let's turn the world red with good.
