The Dreamer versus Schemer

The visionary versus the Status-Que. The people always break the dreamer's heart. The dreamer talks about what can be. The schemer tells you what was. The dreamer connects vision with far reaching possibility. The schemer connects Status-Que with near sighted blind ambition. The dreamer gains power through inspiring people to join in. The schemer gains power through scaring people to go along. The dreamer gives the people to power to choose. The schemer tries to manipulate the people into believing they are given a choice.

The Dreamer invites all people of all races to stand together for the betterment of all human beings. The Schemer tells one racial group that it's a historical fact that they must be at odds with another racial group. That way the one group that benefits from this division is the schemer racial group. Divide and conquer.

The schemer lives a life of a self induced sense false tolerance, but will quickly shed this skin when the power it's thinks it's owed is threaten. The dreamer lives a life of self induced forced hope, that one's birth status does not matter, that through achievement of community involvement, power is earned. No matter what genes one's parents passed on their offspring.

The Dreamer versus the Schemer. The Visionary versus the Status-Que. The people always breaks some one's heart. Sometimes the people want to give the Visionary the benefit of the doubt. Sometime the people want to tell the Status-Que it's not going to benefit from trying to give us, the people, doubt. The people don't always break the Dreamer's heart.
