I shook the hands of time, got him for his wrist watch.
Time may not exist
but
existence may not have much time..
Genocide, Children die, money drives governments to collide, as they lie, loving the bloody bullet.
They pull it, the strings...
we are puppets in a show, only controlled by another because we allow.. we only give them as much power as we allow.
We only allowed them to have control over us because we failed to take the time to gain control over ourselves.. our ideas, our beliefs and our dreams..
You are where you start, when planning on changing things..
Seeing things, a visionary looking to see his vision clearly...searching for creative ways to express the inexpressible..
once our ears are cleared of the wax of ego,
we will hear freedom ring
at the highest decibel

The Internationale ~ Eugene Pottier
Arise ye prisoners of want
For reason in revolt now thunders
And at last ends the age of cant.
Away with all your superstitions
Servile masses arise, arise
We'll change henceforth the old tradition
And spurn the dust to win the prize.
So comrades, come rally
And the last fight let us face
The Internationale unites the human race.
So comrades, come rally
And the last fight let us face
The Internationale unites the human race.
No more deluded by reaction
On tyrants only we'll make war
The soldiers too will take strike action
They'll break ranks and fight no more
And if those cannibals keep trying
To sacrifice us to their pride
They soon shall hear the bullets flying
We'll shoot the generals on our own side.
No saviour from on high delivers
No faith have we in prince or peer
Our own right hand the chains must shiver
Chains of hatred, greed and fear
E'er the thieves will out with their booty
And give to all a happier lot.
Each at the forge must do their duty
And we'll strike while the iron is hot.

"GOOD LOVE"
We are proud of what we each believe
But should our love intercede
We both need a future
For all our unborn dreams
We both need good love

"UNGRATEFUL WORLD TO THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW" Violeta Vidacak.
dying is like fallin, fallin, droppin from the sky, into HOLYness, disappearing from all the rest..
take it from the side..
take it upside down..
either way your on the ground.
do you live life by what you hear? mmm thts ashame my dear.
now that your gone you want to go back but you've just been found.
you need sum assistance? well too bad, ahead of you is a long distance.
Yea i said it, have you read it?
what can you do, a fruit is a fruit but you can't change an apple into an orange.
do what is possible, what god gave you the ability to do
this isn't no law, nothin to be legalized, YOU have to REALIZE
its something you live by
closer then your neighborhood wal-mart
its a human art
God created it from the start
i don't just find anything i find everything
it is sometimes unattainable, then i knw everything i want is gainable
a child who is home grown, in there lil body i knw there isn't a bad bone
tell them not to follow the wrong road cuz if they do there minds explode
everyone always talking about wanting peace
stop talkin bout it then war wud decrease
do something for me ? can you do me a favor?
yea. yea. yea. yea. yea.
yeahhh
well you should be a lil braver
take this moment to savor
every bit of flavor
not everything will always be sweet
it isn't yet complete
don't taste nothin if you anit real meat...!?
well i said wht i thought
your attention? was it caught?
if so, maybe, just maybe you will find your next dish...
This is just a taste of what`s to come from Violeta Vidacak.

THE REVOLUTIONARY TIME TRAVEL. SHORT STORY
Of their people
They no longer cared about their own well being.
Seeming
to get lost in the nature of her sacrifice, I wondered/take my life/so that they may live and die a thousands time over
I thought I knew it all, they knew more about my time, than I knew of theirs..Broke down the system we lived in/ called it Slaves of The Next Generation, living on a perpetual state of mental welfare...
Called Angela on the phone, they said to give her a ring... I said I only want to know of one thing...What is in a Revolution? What is the true content of a Revolution? Simply put, Revolution is not about the violence and war you wage on foot..The real content of any kind of Revolutionary Thrust, lies in the principles and goals you are striving for, not in the way you reach them.
On foot.
Met with Sto Car in Guinea...used up my last bit of "sense" to reach him..I woke, realizing my mind at the moment was broke. to be continued....

"State of Our Society - A High School Tirade - 2008 "
Or you can think of it like this.
I believe sheep is the animal ... A regular american citizen is nothing more than sheep being herded by corporations and the media through their regular lives. Buying Ipods because they are "cool". Wearing a certain brand of clothing because people think its "cool". Buying Starbucks because the perception that it carries. Its funny because half of those starbucks customers bitch about how walmart is killing the regular mom and pop stores and then turn around and buy their coffee from the the corporation that is responsible for the same in the coffee shop industry.
Why? Just because thats the perception the media has continued to feed you. SHEEP. Sheep being herded along the way by what the media wants them to believe. Sheep that dont have the curiousity to actually think for themselves.
This is no different than politics. Why else do you think GW Bush was able to convince the entire country that Iraq did have the imaginary Weapons of Mass Destruction. Why is it that when you ask people why US invaded Iraq, their response is 9/11.
We have all lost sense of priority and value. To find it again we must find ourselves and realize the power and value we possess.

Saul Williams - Not In Our Name: A Pledge To Resist
we believe that as people living in the united states it is our responsibility to resist the injustices done by our government in our names.
not in our name will you wage endless war.
there can be no more deaths.
no more transfusions of blood for oil.
not in our name will you invade countries, bomb civilians, kill more children, letting history take its course over the graves of the nameless.
not in our name will you erode the very freedoms you have claimed to fight for.
not by our hands will we supply weapons and funding for the annihilation of families on foreign soil.
not by our mouths will we let fear silence us.
not by our hearts will we allow whole peoples or countries to be deemed evil.
not by our will and not in our name.
Lyrics www.allthelyrics.com/lyrics/saul_williams/
we pledge resistance.
we pledge alliance with those who have come under attack for voicing opposition to the war or for their religion or ethnicity.
we pldege to make common cause with the people of the world to bring about justice, freedom and peace.
another world is possible and we pledge to make it real.
"The Day"
“The Wise King” from Kahlil Gibran’s The Madman
“The Wise King”
Once there ruled in the distant city of Wirani a king who was both mighty and wise. And he was feared for his might and loved for his wisdom.Now in the heart of the city was a well, whose water was cool and crystalline, from which all the inhabitants drank even the king and his courtiers, for there was no other well.
One night when all were asleep, a witch entered the city, and poured seven drops of strange liquid into the well, and said, “From this hour he who drinks this water shall become mad.”
Next morning all the inhabitants, save the king and his lord chamberlain, drank from the well and became mad, even as the witch had foretold.
And during that day the people in the narrow streets and in the market places did naught but whisper to one another, “The king is mad. Our king and his lord chamberlain have lost their reason. Surely we cannot be ruled by a mad king. We must dethrone him.”
That evening, the king ordered a golden goblet to be filled from the well, and when it was brought to him he drank deeply, and gave it to his lord chamberlain to drink.
And there was great rejoicing in that distant city of Wirani, because the king and its lord chamberlain had regained their reason.
