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!

Degree's = Freedom... LOL

It's sad that those that have been educated in the privileged corridors of higher education are unable to see the commodification of their experience. Truthfully speaking, degree's carry not capital when their worth is mass produced. So as the masses seek shelter in the privileged spaces of higher education they return upon graduation to a job market that has no place for them. In the midst of a capitalistic system the recognition that the commodification of education is problematic does not seem to register on the collective souls of the people. No, we seem content to been pacified by the belief that our degrees will inoculate us from the epidemic of suffering that engulfs large segments of our population. We must wake to the reality that degrees are no substitute to consciousness. Once consciousness occurs then we must actively seek to challenge a system that forces the masses to operate like cattle striving towards rewards devoid of substance. Substance is connected to struggle and it is time for us all to choose that path. Let's Get Free

Rat Race

Life is more than particapation in the rat race. Our existence should be more than punching clocks and systemic structural obligations that confine the individual to a broken system. The idea of freedom must be more than temporary distraction. Lives suffer from disillusionment when supposed answers still leave souls searching for truth. The truth is that these systems are utterly useless in terms of pointing us towards liberation. So the question becomes what does one do in the midst of this realization? They must begin the process of decolonizing their mind to the belief that any systemic reward is anything more than a ploy to gain your allegiance to this corrupt way of life. Life is more than the rat race! Wake up! Let's Get Free!

More!

There is something more. It is in this realization that the hollowness of the existence that most are forced to endure is deemed unacceptable. The screaming voice that emanates from the soul that cries for meaning and fulfillment in a world that simply sells distraction is my compass towards liberation.There is something more.And freedom is connected to the search and belief that structured routine and systemic obligation are not the staples of life. It is this belief that pushes me to continuously challenge the stifling ideas that constrict the movements of humanity. There is more than the systemic entanglements that confine the individual to drudgery and labor. It is this internal belief that keeps me from accepting the process of socialized domestication that strives to strangle my soul. It is in my longer for more that I approach freedom. Let's Get Free

True Education

Education raised my expectations and provided me sight to the ways in which I was locked in entanglements fostered by ignorance. It created in me the belief that I deserved more, that survival and struggle do not have to be the main tenets of my existence. And when I speak of this liberating experience I am not highlighting schooling. Schooling is simply a process that seeks to brainwash the individual and inundate the mind with foolish thoughts and trivial pursuits. No, when I speak of education I am speaking of an internal experience that is only facilitated by being an intellectual seeker. Seeking truth even though the embrace of falsehood creates comfort in the midst of oppressive times. True education is the essence of revolution, because it unmasked the ultimate barrier to freedom, our ignorance. So, I seek to move in the direction of highlighting the revolutionary power of education so that it can be felt by all of my people in the struggle. Let's Get Free!

Complicit

It seems that we are complicit in the viral spread of ambivalence that has infected the masses. As we are enamored with a culture that seeks to only construct meaning in the narrow confines of capitalism. We stand idly by and allow for our helplessness to be an excuse for our silence. Not recognizing that the feelings of helplessness have been engineered by elites to ensure passivity in the midst of corporate takeover. As corporations define and shape policies that continuously benefit the few at the expense of the many we remain appallingly silent. The question is when do we move towards the realization that destruction of this system is the beginning of change? There can be no compromise with a system that defines the corporate state in humanistic terms. We must see that systems and corporations have an obligation to serve the people and when they fail to do this they are no longer useful. These corrupt institution are no longer useful. The questions is what will we do with this realization? Let's Get Free!

Our time

It is imperative that we seek to construct meaning in the midst of increasingly hollow institutions. The choices that once reflected the pathways to success have been blocked. Society is no longer obligated to provide for the individual. This disheartening reality is exemplified in the limited prospects for those who have followed the rules but receive no compensation for their obedience. It is in the midst of these troublesome times that there is possibility. The time is now for new visions of society and more holistic definitions of democracy and freedom. The question is are we up to the challenge? Can we break from the shackles of conformity and construct a new course for humanity? Or will the soothing confines of complacency rob us of our opportunity to change the world? Let's Get Free!

Moving Beyond!

It is imperative that we move beyond critique of the flawed system. The time to run towards our vision of liberation as opposed to continually highlighting the entanglements of our oppression is now. Liberation, the freedom to construct a meaningful life outside the confines of capitalistic values and virtues is essential. We must begin to define resistance in tangible ways so that those we seek to liberate have a concrete example to emulate. The time is now to recognize that it is our time to contribute to the historical narrative of human struggle. And those that refuse to struggle for freedom must accept the reality that it's tender embrace is something they may not ready for. So I speak to those that seek revolution not out of romanticism but out of obligation to transform the conditions that have confined the prospects of freedom to the privileged. Let's Get Free!

Postive Consumption

This belief that we can stop at the consumption of conscious messages is problematic. Positive words or devoid of meaning when they eclipse the ears of those that do not desire to have their actions changed. Actions reflect revolution not the simple regurgitation of positive slogans from the mouths of those that deny the reality of consistent hypocrisy. This is not to cast blame. It is simply to reinforce the reality that faith without works is meaningless, and unless our people can begin to see concrete examples of those who have resisted the temptation to be consumed by capitalistic virtues, the theme of hopelessness in the prospects of change will continue to pervade the beleaguered communities we long to save. So let us move with greater urgency towards a culture that is self-critical in nature. So that the stench of hypocrisy will not be something we simply seek to cover up, but ultimately work to eradicate. Let's Get Free!
