When we look at the way things are now, it's quite obvious things are just bad. The worse part about is that everything is controlled by an elite few. Their control is so tight that it's the common folks who are the ones who get pushed in a corner that just gets tighter. At times like this it would be nice if there was a maverick who would come out and lead the charge against the Man. This is what I think of when I hear the "Authority Song" by John Mellencamp.
Whenever someone with guts comes in, we all rally behind him in hopes that he or she can beat the system and the people who control. We admire him because he has the guts to do what we could not and that's to fight the institution. The trouble is one person can't do alone and a lot of times when people are too afraid, that person is often left alone against the Man. When that happens, no matter how valiant a fighter that person is, he will fall and we've just sacrificed another good person to the jaws of a corrupt rule.
Does this means, things won't change? It depends on us because there will always be another who will take the fallen's place and his cause. What we need to do is to stand by that person and help him to make sure that there will be real change when victory is achieved. We should also do our part because if don't, the Man will always win. Even if there is someone to rally to, we should be more active and if
we do that then we will really beat the system and make a real change for the best.
