Our Life

Love is an issue for the heart,
not politics, not politicians.
It doesn't discriminate.
It is a chemical reaction,
that we in our higher brains have discriminated against.
We restrict ourselves.
We restrain our impulses because we fear them.
For 100,000 years we evolved to become what we are today.
Yet in all that time,
or because of it,
we have forgotten who we were.
In an attempt to become more evolved,
we have forsaken our own primal urges.
We have been tamed.
We are no longer nature,
we are above it,
we control it.
Every day that we embrace the antithesis of our roots
we become more a slave to ourselves.
We err, we suffer, we die,
all an effort to preserve a self-manufactured,
self-fabricated existence where we remove pain,
we remove suffering.
We are robots.
We have removed pain
and in doing so we remove happiness.
We are mellow;
we feel naught.
We are not,
nor will we ever be,
in this form,
complete.
We have become slaves to the anti-impulsatory society
that we formed to shield ourselves from pain.
We shroud our lives with fallacies
like freedom, like patriotism, like morals.
These things do not exist,
they do not have one distinct definition
they mean different things to different people.
The prior were created as a form of control.
They are used today to dupe the masses into complacency.
They limit us.
After all, what is freedom?
Is is tangible or a concept created by our founders to get people to follow them?
What is patriotism?
Is is concrete, does it mean pride in one's country or the ideals it stands (stood) for?
Then what are morals?
They're different for everyone.
But there is some overlap,
some generally accepted terms through which we've created a system of laws to govern society.
But, there are disagreements,
there always have been,
and there always will be.
But in this infighting we are missing the point.
Advancement!
When we fight nothing gets accomplished,
problems are not fixed.
We dig in and polarize to protect ourselves.
But why?
Why?
Because there are those who don't want to change the system,
those that are in charge,
those that have power,
those who are at risk for losing anything at all.
They have the will and the resources to stop us.
That is why we have to fight.
That is why we have a voice.
To fight.
Not with guns or fists,
but with our tongues.
Speech and fluency are the weapons of the masses,
and they are more potent than WMD's or biological warfare.
They are forked tongue of Satan and the tremors of Thor and the word of God.
Speech cannot be stopped;
it cannot be muted.
It is omnipresent and omnipotent.
Even from the most oppressive of conditions man has rose up,
the tread on fight back
and lose the shackles of their own restraint.
The success of the human race rests on the silver tongue of each man and woman.
I stir the pot,
and in time it's liquid churns.
I am the device by which society will progress.
I am man,
I am woman,
I am black,
am white,
am young,
am old,
intelligent,
shy,
pain,
fear,
happiness,
joy,
progress.
I am the epitome of 100,000 years of evolution
and the cornerstone of the next 100,000 years of progress.
From this point I stand and call on you,
young and old,
happy and sad,
white, black and just.
I call out to you combined with me your will
your desires,
your beliefs and fears.
For together, there is no obstacle in our path,
no roadblock to our futures,
we are the FUTURE.
And as our force breaks the horizontal plane,
let it be our light that guides the world.
