I close my eyes while opening my soul to light and love. I give my whole body to it, believe in myself and do my best. The world around is darkening as countries accelerate their war economy and as the worst nightmares approach, I try to stand up against my worst nightmare. There are many good reasons to be afraid and prepare, the world can change very quickly. No matter how tired I am, I can't stop. We are fighting for people's hearts, allies, citizens, and we have absolutely everything at stake. The greatest riches you can ever imagine, full total power.
We set rules that we say we follow, but everyone knows how we rob poorer countries. We finance wars and we finance with human suffering. We promise paradise, a dream and a lie we swear to die for. We waste our souls on those whose authors we consider gods. So holy even though everyone sees through the politicians' lies in the televised circus. The subjugated asks his subjugate for salvation, gets a whipping and, being dependent on his savior, thanks for his last hand security, gets bitter and forgets. We chase our lives past, chasing a dream that fails into its own absurdity, proving it to a blind nation before our eyes.
It's easy to run away from the truth when you know others are lying too. We live in a system where the whole life is lying with bloody hands, selfish justification and escape. The tears of loved ones fill the lakes and somewhere someone in a sun lounger drinks their cool drink. We can and know how to fix all of this, I trust and believe in it. I ask you. Everything I see happening scares me. The shadows of the past seem to have come to life and time seems to be running out. Things have to change and soon, it's time to wake up and rise up in rebellion.
It's no secret what's wrong with the world. We speak on big platforms and tell all nations about our salvation. Our lies do not hide from the eyes that are watching us and we cannot escape responsibility for our actions.
108 million people are fleeing violence, persecution and oppression. We watch from the sidelines, living our lives. We wish them luck and abandon them to the evil of our creations. We benefit from their suffering and refuse to see it. An ever-increasing hatred spreads into our minds, infecting our communities. Its tendrils wrap around our necks, creating nests of hatred in the midst of all that is so dear, suffocating humanity and leaving behind the ruinous devastation and sorrow we are currently witnessing around the world.
Sometimes I drown in the dark and lose the light. Only enough light remains that I remember to look for it. It invites me to it, to its warm caress. To a time where I can finally breathe and there I don't have to be afraid. It gets scared in the dark by withdrawing into the protection of its shell and starts to take on what it perceives as its own. It poisons me into believing the lies my mind creates, while holding me in its grip ready to crush me once more. I can try to run away, but I can't get rid of myself and I can only pray to myself to change, once again I disappear into a new round in the circus that propaganda calls life. It's embarrassing that I can't do more, no matter how hard I try, I still can't give up. I have to keep going because only we can change this world. We form societies, we maintain them with our beliefs. We have the power to change all of this. We believe in justice and truth. We have the right and permission to demand them without fear of consequences. We can demand that the right to housing, healthcare and food belongs to everyone. By striving to live the way it requires. We can encourage and strive to help each other rise out of this darkness towards the light.
I feel the light warming my soul. It makes me feel better when I just remember to follow it. it's my safe haven, not society. It reminds me of the freedom and responsibility I have here with you. I'm no better than any of you, probably below average, but I try. I try to reject the lies and delusions that keep us captive. I will do anything and sacrifice my life to my thoughts. I am ready to face whatever awaits us as we stand at the devil's gates, together with peaceful intentions regardless of the stench of death in the air. Together we banish evil. With our examples, we kill its effects. The connection between us causes the borders between countries to melt until they have evaporated completely.
