We are told to remember the idea and not the man. Because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten. But 400 years later, an idea can still change the world.
I have witnessed firsthand the power of ideas. I have seen people kill in the name of them and die defending them But you can not kiss an idea can not touch it or hold it Ideas do not bleed. They do not feel pain. They do not love
Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation Words will always retain their power Words offer the means to meaning And for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth
But if you see what I see If you feel what I feel, and if you would seek as I seek Then I ask you to stand beside me, one year from tonight Outside the gates of Parliament And together, we shall give them a 5th of November That shall never, ever be forgot.
