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
