I heard a description of corporations under neoliberalism appearing over
the earth like hurricanes can be viewed from space.They know no national
borders and don't care about the ethnicity of their dictators.So too, we
the people, must rise from our chains together, without borders, or
perish as the international bipartisan parasites make us tear each other
apart.
We must stand with our brothers and sisters in North Africa and the
Middle East as they throw off their warlords of the evil empire.We need
to rise with these heroic people and recognize that we are bitten by the
same parasites!While we sleep, our brothers and sisters are beginning
the revolution for all of us.
"The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to
make it fall."Ernesto Che Guevera
Soaring Above The Mist
So far away it seemed
A land of sand and pyramids
Strange languages and turbans
Distant images on the screen
But in the midst of the long night
We spread our wings together and soar
The new Phoenix is born in Africa!
From slavery, flames, and blood
We cannot go back
And as we soar above the mist
I hear the vibrating torment
The torture, pain and chaos
No stranger to those streets
Nor to ours...
But this quake is different...
East of the Nile, I see the wings
Of brothers and sisters, rising!
And west of the Nile
Another multitude soaring
Higher above the sand, rising!
We cannot go back
To the addicted slumber
A damnation bed of dreams
With golden unicorns
Sugared truths and candied lies
We cannot go back
We are the new Phoenix
And we will soar a thousand years
The chains of Pharaoh's overseers
Scattered in bases across the orb
Will crumble under our Solidarity
The Empire of Evil can't stop us
Fly my brothers and sisters
We will rise together
We will be free together!
(inspired by and in solidarity with the brave people of North Africa and
the Middle East)
