Where is our leader?

Not President. I know where he is. I mean our leader. If an alien came down from outer space and said "Take me to your leader," what would I do as soon as I took his green little hand? The UN? Bill Clinton (that last winner I voted for) To my boss? My church leader? My guru? My sponsor? Brad Pitt? Kobe? The next Pope? We got nothin'. At least until April 18th when we may have a cool new guy in a pointy hat.

Gandhi, Malcolm X, Mother Teresa. There are people I'd proudly display as my leader. But they're dead. Here's what I'm saying. Every generation has a motivator. Not a voice of the people. A voice the people can become.

The most charismatic people I've heard are people who are motivating us to change the inside. Create more love, more wealth, more creativity in our own lives. And that is great and necessary. I'm not saying that's bad. In fact, it's important for us to have those people who help us fix the inside so we can then move on to fix the outside.

But while we're all fixing our innards, there is a world falling apart. There are wars being lost. There are rulers making mistakes. Or worse, making wrongs on purpose. Who is our motivator to change the world?

This is an essay, I've always wanted to write, but it is never long. It's a simple cry for help. Someone tell me this person exists? Someone tell me this person is right here. Making change.
