2013.
OK
Soulless fuckwit Coalition of short-term greed.
Congratulations,
you nearly did it.
You've
orchestrated such a relentless multi-level, multi-pronged attack on
all of our basic human rights,
You
have, indeed, almost rendered us speechless.
Even
those of us who already had you branded as heartless, selfish
bastards are indeed shocked at the span and depth of your
callousness.
the
scale of your seemingly endless raft of brutality.
You've
gone for our homes,
for
our health care,
our
right to eat,
our
right to education and ambition,
our
right to care when vulnerable
and
the rights of the vulnerable to full human self-hood and respect in a
social and humane world.
You've
threatened our right to reply. You threaten our right to protest.
And,
when we do, you show your contempt by utterly ignoring all
intelligent and humane concerns we raise.
You
are killing us.
You
clearly do not care.
Perhaps
you are even pleased with this result
After
all ,the weak and vulnerable do not appear to directly make you
money.
But
beware.
For
as you sail home, cutting a path thru the melting ice caps, fracked
landscape, devastated communities; As you kick your way thru the
homeless, the sick, the distressed and vulnerable like a school child
scuffing up fallen leaves in autumn, laughing all the way to the
banks, beware...
for
when you get there
you
will find us.
Almost,
but not yet silent.
Almost,
but not yet broken
Not
yet defeated.
Not
surrendered
and
Not Alone.
We
will meet you there
and
we will serve you with the consequences of your deeds.
We
will stand,
hand
in hand
on
the firm ground of our own convictions.
Still
saying what you have chosen to belittle,
Still
saying what you have chosen to ignore.
Still
saying that life on earth is precious and fragile ,
that
human vulnerability is worth more than fiscal profit,
that
human love is stronger and will prevail.
We
will stand in the strength of our integrity
and
you will sweat in your suits,
you
will sweat in your insecurities, clinging to quantative easing,
grasping
at derivatives and bail out clauses.
but
these things will crumble
and
you will fall.
And
we
will
carry on with what we have always been doing.
We
will take back our homes,
reclaim
our land,
we
will care for each other, we will build with love and create with
integrity. We will share.
We
will manage.
We
will balance power with responsibility.
And,
when we make mistakes, we will apologise and rectify.
We
will live together upon this fragile spinning earth.
And
it is you who will be rendered speechless.
it
is you who will be shook to the core by the realisation of your own
vulnerability.
And,
for
the first time,
You
will notice the earth beneath your feet
and
wonder
if
you dare
to
ask us for our help.
