Captives

Sadly, we are not strangers to captivity. We have been held captive by the cultural myth that this system works. This faulty premise has left us in the midst of invisible prisons unable to grasp the vastness of the bars. So our voices remain passive in the face of systemic oppression. Passive voices, that we use because the reality of the situation is overwhelming. It is in the midst of this overwhelming state that we retreat to simplistic answers that don't force us to recognize the true nature of the system. The system is broken and anytime solutions require using the oppressor's tools or embracing avenues that the elites endorse is foolish. The journey for freedom cannot be reached by traveling the similar paths that have led to our oppression. It is time to wake up to the reality that revolution is not convenient but necessary. Let's Get Free!
