Thinking about a revolution
I’m in that state of mind again, I’m thinking about a revolution. This thought grips me when I’m sober or drunk, well the difference is the same. My mind becomes relentless, this doesn’t just happen, there must be some elicits. My grammar is not perfect, but that’s the least of my worries, in fact I have proof that it’s not a limitation. So I will share as my mind desires.
I’m thinking about a revolution, I am desperate, we need a revolution, we need this people, I’m certain, I can feel it in the air, its coming. Can it be sooner; my patience has lapsed. I spend most of my days thinking how life could be with a new dispensation, a new way of thinking, tolerance, empathy, love. I can see beyond the shutter of time, it looks better. It could be much much better, when all this rot is gone.
This place is full of hate, rot, greedy, arrogance, hypocrisy, this is exhausting. I need a better life for my mum, for my kids, for my family, for my friends, for my countrymen. I need a revolution. The rage and hate absorbing this place is toxic, a brother would kill another brother to survive. The leaders are preaching hate and are not sincere. The systems and institutions are rotten with corruption, dishonest and greed. The elders are arrogant, tired and insincere. A few individuals are pushing us to the edges. They get excited with our pain. They enrich their egos with our sorrows. This has to change, it will change. I’m thinking about a revolution.
A revolution, to wipe out all this decay. It has to happen during my time, grant me Lord, a few days more.
Do not fall into despair. You may feel outnumbered and besieged on all sides but you are not alone, my friend. Quiet your mind. Shut out the mindless distractions that are set before you. Most of all, strive to be the change that you want to see in the world, and nurture that change in others. Seek out the souls who see what you see and support one another.
Revolution can manifest in many forms. Subvert the authority of those who have claimed dominion over you. Seek out and give your support to the little pockets of anarchy around the world. This is an exciting time to be alive! We have technology that can bring us all together like never before, to freely organize and exchange ideas. Support decentralization wherever you find it. Try to seed it where it is not found. Peer to peer technologies, cryptocurrencies, encryption to guard our subversion from the oppressors, these are weapons of liberty.
Learn to code. While some activists stand, shouting in the middle of the crowd, they're voices being drowned out by all the noise of the mindless distractions that are meant to entrap minds; programmers are working quietly from the fringes and changing almost overnight the way in which entire societies interact.
Seek to touch the minds of all those souls you come across who have not yet woken up to see the perils around them, but be gentle and patient. Some of us have been awake our entire lives, while others have only recently experienced such an awakening. For those who have not, the cognitive dissonance triggered within them when confronted by concepts that contradict the lie that they have been conditioned believe and have invested their lives into reinforcing is often too much. Don't overwhelm them. Instead practice sowing tiny thought seeds everywhere you go. Accept that some may be too far gone to save. Their minds have been pummeled for to long by fear and hatred. They are dangerous, but do not hate them, only pity them, and be wary of them.
Above all, remember:
You are not alone my friend. Do not be discouraged. We are many. Our numbers are growing. Our minds are strong.
You're right. Like Janelle Monáe says: "Silence is our enemy; And sound is our weapon".
I'd add one more thing here: ' learn to code or make friends with people who can and share your frustration'.
