Manifesto

It is time to

disassimilate

to say our final farewells

without having to

die

To find a new kind of freedom

to discover a new way of living

that is as important as

dying

To understand that what binds us to each other

is that which promotes slavery

is that which annihilates the soul

and maintains evil in the world

While I cannot see the future

I can hope

and I can dream

of a binding

without discrimination

without hate

without poverty

without high and

without low

A new relationship with each other

in which no one holds more power than any other

in which all colour is beautiful

in which no colour is beautiful

in which sex and gender is Absolute

freedom

A world where

no one is rich

just as

no one is poor

In which we police ourselves and not each other

especially not each other

for the policing of the world is what destroys the world

it is a policing in which the poor police the poor and the slave the slave and the worker the worker

to increase

and to profit that which first steals identity

and returns identity by naming that which it has stolen

making us owners who are owned

by thieves

by imaginary desire

by worthless worth

until we are nothing but items on a shelf

lined up like poultry

laying our young out to be picked by

farmers with no fields

landowners with no land

branded

with a warranty that lasts a lifetime

For too long have we ignored this

For too long have we believed

that only a life worth living is worth living

Perceive the worthlessness of this vision

how it has strangled us

how it has dulled us

how it has failed us

and prevented us from being able

to see that worth does not mean going up in value

Disassimilate

it will be hard

almost impossible

almost the end

almost more frightening than death

always more frightening than death

for death is freedom, and freedom is frightening

but we need not die to become free

if we break these ties

this noose

this suffocation

we no longer have to go "up" we can go

sideways

in circles

whatever we choose

The first step is to realize

that we can say

goodbye

whenever we want
