It is not all about us!

Can we face the realization that it is not all about us? Are we able to accept the fact that the world was not constructed soley for our desires to be quenched? The truth is that we share this world and the importance of human life is not reserved for those who exist in the midst of these invisible borders.Our selfishness borders on delusions of grandeur that are propped up on notions of specialness. Truthfully, we must break free from the thinking that our specialness allows for us to trample on the humanity of others. We must recognize that it is not all about us, contrary to popular belief. The sooner we can begin to live a life in unison with others the closer we are to commnuity. Let's Get Free!

Indifference

Indifference is an ill-fitting outfit that most seem content to wear. The question is why do most wear indifference like a badge of honor? Indifference is a prison that seeks to isolate the masses from truth. The truth is that the inevitability of righteousness is a wise tale not grounded in fact. In fact in order to create change we must stand up to injustice and not be deterred by the vastness of the task. However, it seems that most our content to ignore the precarious position that we find ourselves in. To become drunk on delusions and immerse ourselves in fiction. The truth is that revolution is the only option. There are no other ways to alter the path towards something more humane. So let us embrace this truth and begin the process of dealing with the complex questions surrounding, what does it look like to create a revolution in the twenty first century? The time is now the only thing we have to lose is our chains. Let's Get Free!

Systemic Brokenness

Does the brokenness of the system simply reflect the brokenness of humanity? At times it is easy to place oneself above the fray inoculated by righteousness, feeling that you are the only one that understands. However, it is this arrogance that stifles change because it leaves many believing they are above critique. Truthfully, we all must share responsibility for the brokenness. To recognize that the systemic indifference is mirrored in our daily interactions. These interactions highlight our inability to truly open ourselves up to others. Selfishness maybe at the root of our broken system but it is our delusional position that seeks to convince us that we are immune to this characteristic that makes change difficult. So let us begin with acceptance that individual brokenness create the systemic brokenness that receives our righteous ire. Change will only occur when we recognize that our individual healing is essential to the healing of the world. Let's Get Free.

break free

The struggle to break free from the American plantation is compacted by the fact that most mistake the plantation for paradise. Sadly,the inability to distinguish between the two leaves most content to embrace oppression while they remain distracted by the fantasy induced state cultivated by corrupt corporations. So, the essence of freedom is lost because most believe that freedom lies in the midst of credit cards or pointless purchases of products meant to signify the good life. The time is now. We must begin to challenge and illuminate the true nature of this decadent system. This requires us to characterize the American system for what it is: A Plantation that still subscribes the masses to servitude. Our collective service must then be turned towards systemic change. If we do not wake up, the prospects for true freedom will forever be an illusion. Let's Get Free!

No More Chains

Chains seeks to confine and relegate the lives of the masses. However, this does not have to be the theme of our existence. We can resist the cultural themes that are indicative of a sick society. Our lives can be testimonies of goodness, honesty and integrity. Let us challenge the entities that seek to enslave instead of liberate. freedom from the chains of others is the right of every world citizen. So let us stop with our allegiance to corruption and our embrace of apathy. Let us begin to chart a new path where humans are valued and oppression is a thing of the past. Let's Get Free!

Struggle to Empower

The struggle to empower those who have been historically convinced of their weakness is at times daunting. Sadly, for most weakness becomes an accepted position and thus the victory of the oppressors is assured. It is essential that we challenge the chains that seek to confine us to positions of powerlessness. Unfortunately, for most an existence not predicated on the simplicity of ignorance and weakness is unappealing. It is a struggle to be free to awaken to the misery of the world. However, it is in the midst of this realization that we begin to live. So, let us break from the shackles that seek to limit the scope of our lives.

Out Loud

I wonder out loud if there is a place for consciousness? If a place exist for those that see past the trivial? Or will those that have been burdened by consciousness be left to speak in a language that remains foreign for most? The conscious are forever in a state of culture shock longing for familiar surroundings.

A nightmare

Sadly, the water hoses of the righteous cannot extinguish the flames of apathy that engulf the masses. This is no hopeful message. No, it is a message, or more precisely a realization that the masses have be effectively dis-engaged. That most cannot see beyond their ambition for the good life. So, any conversation about how these individualistic dreams will fail to exist in the midst of a crumbling empire are ignored. The screams of the righteous strategically muzzled. So we hear no noise, other than the manufactured noises meant to stifle critical thinking. Critical thinking has no place in a society with microwavable attention spans. Misery spans the globe, but most refuse to think in those terms. So we've reached the doorstep of destruction on corporate terms. Their profits remain untouched while we remain untouched by the latest tragedy. It's a tragedy the way our humanity has been effectively ravaged systemically destroyed. So again, this is no hopeful message. Simply a realization that most will continue pursuing individualistic dreams while the world is set in a nightmare.

Silent Cries

The silent cries of human suffering cannot continue to be ignored by apathetic ears. The essence of life is measured in our ability to connect with suffering. To not allow for the misery that engulfs so much of the world’s population to overwhelm us into a passive acceptance of the status quo. Our lives must be exercises in resistance to the institutions and mechanism that seek to normalize misery as a part of a larger plan. No! Human misery is connected to the all too real actions of human hands. We cannot allow for the brutality of humanity to be absolved. We must recognize that our fate is connected to our willingness to turn from beliefs and actions that allow for our hands to continue in the construction of human suffering. Wake up! Be involved in the struggle or forever be linked to the problem! Let’s Get Free!
