Radiation

My heart is heavy. Trying to radiate light and love,

but getting stuck in darkness.

Friend, how did this happen? 

Your body became your enemy,

now they're jamming needles in your skin

like 500 years ago when they jammed flags into our soil

spilling more blood for their gold and oil.

They're cutting down our trees, sucking on the land, poisoning our food, 

poisoning our water, polluting our air, worse than leeches (cause at least they know when to stop). 

All so we could sleep on duvet blankets, drive our cars to work, so we can pay for our cellphone, our living space, watch television, go to school to learn some bullshit, so that you can grow up and go to college, get a job in their corporate world, sell you monogamy so you can get married and create more consumers so they can continue their fucking disease of survival strategy. Ownership never meant love...just material security.

I'm sick of people protecting this bullshit way of life we call being "American."

Giving the pueblo the fucking crumbs, raising funds for charities, Make Your Wish come true only when you're about to die type of shit. I'm sick of the hypocrisy. 

It's making us all (literally) sick!

All I want to say is:

Civilization can kiss my Salvadoran-rebel, won't-bow-down-to-no-one, fuck-your-bullshit-food, fuck-your-bullshit-medicine, fuck-your-unsustainable-productivity, fuck-your-exploiting-of-brown-skin, crossed-the-border-3-times ass. 

What the fuck does civilization mean now? The people that Europeans referred to as "savages" knew how to work the land, live off it, create art, study the stars, understand the universal connection, knew how to heal and pray, and they respected the earth. "Civilized" europeans raped our womyn, are still exploiting our land, created these fucked up structures that were only meant to benefit them, and here we are years later still fighting for the same fucking thing: our earth, our food, our water. 

But my heart doesn't feel hate, it still blooms with love for my blood, my body, my earth, my dreams. 

I embody my family's dreams. We must go forward to justice with love, because that's what Europeans couldn't understand.  We need to unwind, refresh our minds, wake the fuck up and see who's really running shit. It's only through the reclamation of our souls, our love, and the liberation of our minds, that we can go forward in creating a great world for EVERYONE. It starts with us, it starts with taking care of your own body to the fullest. Food, Water, Exercise, Love. If your government does not make it possible for you to do that, it is failing and needs to change.
