I often feel powerless against the evil in the world.
I often feel powerless against the powers that be.
I often feel powerless against the historical weight of injustice.
I often feel powerless against the fact that I am but one person.

Then I remember. I can gather together with others and exponentially increase my power.

I know it doesn't help to post online.
I know it doesn't help to shout my rage.
I know it doesn't help to quietly sulk.
I know it doesn't help to simply dream of what could be.

Then I remember. There are others like me out there. In the real world. Doing something about it.

I feel powerless. 
I feel helpless.
I feel like giving up.
I feel like giving in.

Then I remember. I can join a group. In real life. Groups are what have always made the world go round. Groups are what give power to the powerless. Groups are where change is made.
