Editor’s Note: The following poem was sent in by one of our readers, Manuel Barajas PhD.
Use violence/war because you can;
Censorship, because only your view matters;
Take all you can: land, resources, etc.;
Nail them to manageable, exploitable, and disposable labor;
Punish disobedience to authority;
Indoctrinate fantasies of supremacy about those in power
(e.g., chosen by God, by evolution, by culture/civilization, by all these).
Resistence.
The heart beats free,
The air fills my lungs.
My dreams traverse
worlds and universes.
I choose my path.
The parasitical values
rob, enslave, and kill.
Mutuality, respect, and equity
relate, raise, and liberate us
with health and love.
