“This is my world! We are going to reclaim it, Forour children, For our decedents, Yet unborn, Whoare depending on us, To do the right things…”
By Poet Ricardo Saúl LaRosa
The dawn of the New Age of Aquarius is upon us, now, today. For allpractical purposes 2012 has arrived. We must be diligent and very cautiousnot to fall for all the hype concerning 2012 by many out there trying to sella book explaining what will happen on December 21, 2012.As for myself, yes, I want to share my views, as well, but as with most ofmy poetry this essay is free; I am not selling anything. I am moved toexpress my thoughts via my poetry and commentaries. The Great Spirit ofthe universe has inspired me to write and share my thoughts with you, mycherished readers.

“To whom much is given, much is expected,” I truly believe in thisstatement. I believe that artists (painters, photographers, writers, poets,singers, composers, dancers, musicians, actors, etc.) have beentremendously blessed by Providence with talents and material wealth. Iam suggesting that artists should be using their celebrity status and voicesto champion the cause of the down-trodden. “Those who are strong, mustsupport the weak.”I offer the following statements as a guide and a world-wide call to actionusing our talents, our voices, and all our strengths to shout out in oneunanimous declaration that the current status quo of the world where themajority of human beings, the poor, are pushed around and treatedinhumanly as commodities on the stock exchange by a small elite richruling class.I live a relatively good life. I have never been without food, clean water,medical assistance or a safe, warm dwelling over my head, however, thisdoes not mean that I can be indifferent to those less fortunate and turn a blind eye. I refuse to be a conformist; I will not sell out; I dissent and Irebel.
Seven Points of Recommendation:
1.It is the responsibly of the artist to speak out against all kinds of injusticeswhenever possible. The artist should express outrage when the powerfulmistreat the poor, the helpless, the homeless, the hungry, etc. I am tried ofthe weak being pushed around; I am tried of children dying of hunger,needlessly, no more, no more!2.It is the responsibly of the artist to meditate in reflections, prayers, inspiritual invocations to the Great Spirit of the universe to assistancehumanity in these turbulent times of excessive evils and greed.3.
