I remember a generation silenced by drugs to shut down their minds. Not able to make a stand because addiction declined. But before the addiction they were in the face of the man that opposed their beliefs. They were strong in their feelings and very clear about their needs. They organized, they protested, they purchased guns to secure their stance. They did what was needed and their opposers never stood a chance. It wasn't until someone on the inside changed, they were able to be taken down. Lots of people lost their lives and others had to leave town. Drugs came in and took away what was left shutting the whole movement down. It wasn't the mole that did it, what were they suppose to do? It was the self distribution that happened during the taste of that first drug. I've seen it and I've read it and I'm amazed at how it all got stopped. They captured the mind and the plans to rebel, stopped. They got ahold of the strong man and took the whole thing down. And the ones that never helped, continued to sit around. Secretly wanting freedom but afraid to speak. Afraid to do anything, not even whisper a peep. They only voice they'd give was to criticize. Maybe because they had no clue on how to organize. Organize using what ever skill they had, too worried about being like everyone else and then feeling mad, that they couldn't contribute because they couldn't do what the one with the big voice could. Letting the drugs come in and take our neighborhoods.
Now here we are again a new generation with no change. Fighting the same issues day after day. Fighting the cause and the ignorance of people who don't care to understand. Combating your feelings with ridiculous demands. Demanding that you not love and care for yourself because it's offensive to them. Taking your desire to be safe and free as a direct hit againts them. But I guess it is because it is their freedom they lose. Wow! I never thought of it that way. But if you get what you want they have to change the way they treat you and it will no longer be legal to, kill you, rob you and do whatever privilege do. The playing field evens and they too can be looked at as the bad guy. No more smoking mirrors, no more hiding with a disguise. No more excuses, no more passes to give. No more walking the picket lines, toting the picket signs fighting the unresolved. No more systematic laws created not for your benefit but for the control of you. No more keeping you from your independence and whatever you were born to do. Learning from generations pass and keeping your mind clear. Doing what you can in your atmosphere. We all have something we can contribute, even if it's a great idea. We can use our profession, whatever that might be. Get some laws changed, gain some new possibilities.
