we are the insurgents

worldwide the status quo reigns. war is easier to maintain than peace. there are a million ways to feel better about oneself without ever having to change. but we are watching. we come from everywhere: every continent and every country, every color and every creed, every walk of life and tax bracket. we refuse to go down like this. we will not be sedated with commercials that sell us beauty in a jar. we won't be distracted from the coffins and the dirty lies our political leaders feed us as they sign death warrants under the table. we refuse to accept our fate. right now, legionaires are taking up pens or books, calvaliers are sitting to their computers. others will take up microphones and guitars. our weapons will only wound your mind; open it like a gash to the possibility of other possibilities. we look just like you. this is not a revolution of blood in the streets or even to overthrow a government. it is a revolution of the heart. it is a war being battled for the common good of mankind the world over. missiles loaded with the message "there doesn't have to be a right or wrong, good or evil. we are all human beings." will be targeted at each and every home. paint a bull's-eye on your television. the time is now. rome is burning and nero is playing air guitar to his ipod. break free of media fetters to allow your own self to decide what you like and what you want. make change for the better. sow the seeds of peace and acceptance. break down barriers of style and income. be happy. be so happy and comfortable with yourself that your cup overflows and you must share the run-off with those around you who aren't so blessed. the revolution will not be televised.
