OPPRESSION

.... just thinking about life and what annoys the crap out of me big time ....

Oppressor: “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” 

Oppressed: Whatever do you mean? We are all equal on this earth, we must learn to live together.

Oppressor: There must be the rule makes to keep some semblance of order. We are those rule makers, you will from now on do I we say.

Oppressed: But we refuse. It’s not fair. Why should you get to make the rules? We should all be free to exist and flourish.

Oppressor: You will do as we say. 

Oppressed: Those who oppress us are taking away our basic rights to freedom. We will not accept this, we will fight, for if we do not fight you will continue on granting yourselves more and more power as we remain the ugly second cousins being thrown the scraps from the dinner table. We choose to fight against you. Our lives are no longer measured with the same respect as yours.

It is basic human nature to fight for justice. The oppressed fight back. The oppressors begin to fear loss of control and power. The oppressors fight back with fire claiming those who are oppressed are those who are the trouble makers. And the rest of the world are blind as sheep, scared as a drowning child and weak as an old man on his last life-breaths - but because the oppressors have power enough to deceive and blind the masses, the masses follow on without question - blindly. 

When one begins to question the validity of their own life as well as the validity of others we see the way forward. THE ONLY WAY FORWARD - is in LOVE and PEACE. We can continue on the same cycle of oppression, making excuses to overpower and hate, but in this cycle we will never find resolve. 

This simple life arithmetic is not hard, and we humans we believe we are an intelligent race, yet we still can’t figure out the math. Take the time to do the workings, with self, then others, and we can surely change the face of the planet. 

Humanity I love you and will not give up, I just ask for you to join fight for what we all have in our hearts - LOVE - and we mustn’t reserve it for just a few, it must be readily available for everyone. Act now for the love of future generations.

Oppression can definitely make a person lose confidence
and will power, this is a well written piece and carries a strong
message, thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

[...]

KWP, what a great resounding message! Awesome write :)

[KWP]

thanks chick chick X

[jacob erin-cilberto]

being oppressed can start to make us feel like we are not good enough to speak up for ourselves.
we lose all self-confidence...and sense of self-worth because of those so-called "rule makers"

a valid piece with a wicked theme that has been true for centuries...

needs a bit of editing...but really strong philosophy in this KWP...

we do have to join hands and hearts, and fight this oppression.

[KWP]

yeah editing not my strong suit - I really should do a course or something :)

thanks Jacob apprecaited X

No one can oppress anyone else without consent
The fact that there is questioning is enough to bring any oppressor down
No one can take away one's ability to think

I love how you ask for love
It is the only answer
and though some might go out there to pollute the world with hate and aggression
Controlling the masses to reach a hidden agenda

Love overcomes all that
It takes alot but is the ultimate truth of our world

Thank you for sharing this poem
I am keeping it in my library with your kind consent :)

thanks so much for reading - just one tiny tiny tiny weenie baby step in brig back a bit of balance X
