Oppression

Those whose lives have been impacted by the paintbrush of oppression must be on guard against the desire to covet privilege. It is imperative that the marks of oppression remain visible to a world all to quick to ignore the pain of the oppressed. The oppressed and the disenfranchised must not be convinced of their brokenness. Their strength is necessary to still the waters of complacency that seek to engulf the privileged. Our experiences cannot and should not be discarded because we been socialized to see them as barriers instead of the foundation for our liberation. It is time that the oppressed speak with a collective voice that will make the oppressor tremble. The time for revolution is now and the voice of the oppressed is needed. Let's Get Free!
