We do not follow one person,
or even a few.
We do not place one of us at the head
to bark orders
and before whom we need prostrate ourselves.
Our leader is a meme.
An idea.
A change in perspective.
Our leader is a meme that
the world works best when it works for everyone.
Our leader is a meme that
national boundaries are historical artifacts and curiosities
not the basis for exclusion and difference.
Our leader is a meme that
the free will to choose our individual destiny is not for the chosen few
but for everyone.
Our leader is a meme that
we can build a world together starting on a foundation of sustainability.
Our leader is a meme that
any idea which favors the few harms us all.
Our leader is a meme that
majorities are for amateurs
we seek unanimous accord.
Our leader is a meme that
all humans are born equal and entitled to equal access to resources
for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Our leader is a meme that
cannot be killed like Martin Luther King Jr.
or Robert Kennedy
or Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
or Yitzhak Rabin
or Che Guevara
Our leader is a meme that
guides us and helps us
each in our own way.
We cannot all be leaders
but we can all help build the meme that leads us.
We can make it richer and deeper.
We can make it more specific.
We can make it more complete.
We can make it better for everyone.
Our leader is a meme
and that makes us invincible.
Our leader is a meme.
Make way for the meme.
God save the meme.
All hail the meme.
Long live the meme.
