Yes, - "es" is the correct tense (imperative), and I think the whole thing is grammatically correct now. However, I don't really know what the quotation means! (how can you tell someone to BE the change??????) Don't think it would mean much to the Ancient Romans, but you've answered the question as it stands. Cheers.

you're right about the Romanitas. It's more of a New World saying. Maybe Ryan can give us an answer regarding the confrontation of such contradictory worlds... Cheers,

Well, I shall have to check in my Latin dictionary, but I do know that terrae is incorrect. Terra is the ablative case which should be used here. In any case the for world is mundus, therefore "in the world" is "in mundo". I can't yet vouch for the rest.
