Here
lies... There lies... Everywhere lies. In the face of so much miserable, screeching, smirking, self-satisfied falseness, there is nothing to do but refuse to believe. We refuse to believe a government of half the people is a government of all the people. We refuse to believe that dividing people in the name of religious ideals is the proper fulfillment of the divine in ourselves. We refuse to believe that a country founded to be an experiment in diversity should become an historic monument to intolerance and isolationism. We refuse to believe in the idea of a "war" on "terror." We refuse to believe in this particular convulsion/perversion of America. We refuse to believe leaving is the only answer. And we refuse to believe staying means keeping quiet. Find your own way to fight back without violence, to speak your mind without letting your anger twist your truth, to keep listening to what you don't agree with for the little voice of life that even the most foul and fearful intentions can't silence. Find your own way to keep pushing your truth every day a little farther into the light of the unfolding world. This is ours. |
