We Have

Half rant, half speech, and half rambling. Do with it what you will.

I HAVE A RIGHT TO FREE WILL
AND IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU AGREE
BECAUSE MY THOUGHTS ARE MY OWN.
I CHOOSE WHAT I THINK
WHAT I FEEL
WHAT I KNOW.
AND THOUGH YOU CAN CHAIN ME,
MY HANDS
    AND FEET,
IN SHACKLES
YOU CAN NOT STOP MY MIND
NOR CAN YOU STOP MY HEART.
I LOVE FREELY, AND HATE
I FEAR FREELY, AND LEARN.

SO, SOMEDAY, WHEN I HAVE ESCAPED
YOUR CHAINS OF IGNORANCE,
I WILL QUESTION THE UNQUESTIONABLE,
CHANGE THE UNCHANGEABLE,
AND THE LEAD THE WORLD INTO AN AGE OF UNDERSTANDING.
BUT I WILL NOT DO IT BY WAR
RATHER IT WILL COME WITH
WISDOM
AND REALIZATION OF
OUR FREE WILL
SOMETHING NOTHING
AND NO ONE
CAN TAKE AWAY

THROW YOUR WORST AT US.
ALL YOUR RIGHT AND WRONG,
RELIGION AND GOVERNMENT,
AND WE WILL LOOK AT THEM WITH
CLEAR HEARTS AND
CLEAR EYES.
THUS, WE WILL SEE THEM AS YOU CAN NOT.
WE WILL SEE THE REAL RIGHT AND WRONG
THE REAL RELIGION AND GOVERNMENTS,
BUT NOT ONLY WILL WE RECOGNIZE THEM
FOR WHAT THEY ARE
WE WILL KNOW, UNDERSTAND
AND LOOSE NONE OF THAT WHICH IS OURS.

CREATIVITY, PASSION, AND SPIRIT.
EVERYTHING YOU HAVE LOST.
EVERYTHING WE ARE FIGHTING TO RETAIN.

WE HAVE A RIGHT TO FREE WILL.
A RIGHT TO CHOOSE, A RIGHT TO PASSION,
A RIGHT TO QUESTION, A RIGHT TO CREATIVITY,
AND ABOVE ALL, A RIGHT TO UNDERSTAND.

Spazzish. I know.

Not spazzish, truth. It hurts to let people know as much as it hurts trying to put all that anger and fear into words. In a world where no one is willing to listen to those with open hearts I think many share your need to reinvent the world, to make it take back everything it has shut out. A great piece.

I think that we will gt along great.

Reading this I kept thinking, "Yeah! Hear me Roar!!!" Everything you state is what I personally believe in, and it baffles my mind that these are issues....

Awesome job.
