there is us and there is them
i.e., the working class and the ruling class
but…
a whip is a whip is a tv is an obedient slave.
and…
sometimes a river can be blocked from the sea of justice by building up a dam…
but…
sometimes mother nature beats that dam down…
sometimes, by the builders own negligence, a crack opens…
sometimes enough is enough and dynamite blasts it down…
but every river leads to the sea.
even in the driest places on Earth, such as the Atacama desert, the ocean has a way of reaching the land. The Camanchaca may not feed a river but it reminds the land who gives life and who takes it away.
maybe we are leaving it to others to be the ones who care. maybe we are just placated to do so. maybe the ruling class is building up dams to block us from the ocean. we shouldnt concern ourselves with blaming ourselves for the dams. we can wait for mother nature to wear it down pebble by pebble or we can wait for their negligence to open cracks or we can say "ya basta"!
Subcomandante Marcos said a long time ago:
"A certain dose of tenderness is necessary to walk when there is so much against you in order to awaken when you’re so exhasuted. A certain dose of tenderness is necessary in order to see, in this darkness, a small ray of light in order to make order from shame and obligations. A certain dose of tenderness is necessary in order to get rid of all the sons of bitches that exist. But sometimes a certain dose of tenderness is not enough and it’s necessary to add… a certain dose of bullets."
