How Long?

How long did America think this could last?

How long can we have a health care program biased by greed?
How long can students enroll in college, with no prospect of finding a job after graduation?
How long can national agendas be co-opted by the few?
How long can we have 1-in-6 Americans living in poverty?

How long did America think humanitarians would tolerate two simultaneous wars?
How long did our parent's generation think we would be silent?
How long did you spend studying for standardized tests?
How long did we wait to begin a movement?

How long will Zuccotti Park be Liberty Plaza?
How long will the answer to 1984 be 1776?
How long will we argue about taxes?
How long will the answer to 9/11 be 9/17?

How about we come together?
How about we get a message and commit to change?
How about we stay off the couch?
How about we STAY CONNECTED!
