GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH

I AM THE WASTED YOUTH. I AM THE INTELLECTUAL PAIN IN THE ASS THAT QUESTIONS AUTHORITY. I AM ANTI SOCIETY. THERE IS NO VALID REASON FOR SYMBOLS OF HATE AND OPPRESSION TO BE FREELY DISPLAYED UNDER CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS THAT CONFLICT WITH OTHERS’ CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS SUCH AS DESTROYING THOSE SAME VERY SYMBOLS OF HATE. DID YOU KNOW IT IS ILLEGAL TO BURN A CONFEDERATE FLAG? BURNING A FLAG IS AN ACTION OF THE SAME SYMBOLICAL VALUE AS FLYING A FLAG. THE SAME VERY FLAG THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SPLIT OF OUR SO CALLED NATION IN 1861. THIS ONLY FUELS MY RAGE BECAUSE THAT FLAG IS BEING FLOWN NEXT TO OUR CURRENT FLAG WHICH SYMBOLIZES THE UNITY OF OUR NATION: THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THE SAME VERY FLAG WHICH HAD OUR ANCESTORS FIGHTING OVER THE RIGHTS OF THE OWNERSHIP OF A HUMAN BEING.  WHITE MEN KILLING WHITE MEN. BLACK MEN KILLING BLACK MEN. BLACK MEN KILLING WHITE MEN. AND WHITE MEN KILLING BLACK MEN. THIS SAME MENTALITY RULES OUR NATION TODAY. THE ANIMOSITY CONTINUES AS THIS IS THE MINDSET THAT IS PASSED DOWN ONTO GENERATIONS. THE SAME FAT CATS WHO MAKE THE LAWS AND GOVERN WHAT IS JUST IN THIS NATION ARE THE SAME ONES THAT PERPETUATE THE VIOLENCE AND MINDSET OF DIFFERENT RACES AND CLASSES OF PEOPLE. THIS INFERIORITY/SUPERIORITY COMPLEX IS THE ROOT OF OPPRESSION AND CLASSISM WHICH INSURES JEROME GETS MORE TIME THAN BRANDON. JIM CROW EVOLVED INTO CORPORATE POLITICS AND SCHEMES TO KEEP A CLASS OF PEOPLE IN THE MENTALITY THAT THEY ARE INFERIOR AND SHOULD LIVE IN FEAR. LACK OF OPPORTUNITY AND A FINE TUNED EYE TO SUBTLE RACISM HAVE BEEN THE RESULTING CONSEQUENCES OF THE STAGNANT MENTALITY OF OUR PRIMITIVE FOREFATHERS. THE SAME DOLLAR YOU WORSHIP IS BUT A TOOL OF CONTROL IN WHICH YOU COULD HAVE ONCE BEEN TRADED FOR AND ARE NOW ACTUALLY BEING TRADED FOR.  THE SYSTEM WAS NOT MADE FOR YOU TO FLOURISH IN AND EVERY DREAM YOU’VE BEEN SOLD IS A LIE BASED UPON THE GRIEF OF SOME MINORITY OF PEOPLE. THE GAME HAS CHANGED. OPPOSED TO THE AMERICAN DREAM OF MAKING IT BIG AND BECOMING A CELEBRITY AND CHASING THE FAME WE GET A TASTE OF FROM AN INSTAGRAM LIKE, WE ARE SITTING IN A CESSPOOL OF BROKEN IMAGES TO STRIVE AFTER. LONG GONE ARE THE DAYS WHERE WE GENERALLY STRIVED TO BE SUCCESSFUL UNDER THE GUISE OF SOMETHING AS DIGNIFIED AS A DOCTOR, LAWYER, OR {NON-CROOKED} POLITICIAN. THIS IS THE GENERATION OF RAPPERS, MODELS, AND 15 SECOND FAMERS WITH NO INTENTION BUT TO FULFILL THEIR DESIRE TO HAVE ALL THESE NICE THINGS THE SAME PEOPLE ON THE TV AND YOUR CELL PHONE SCREEN SOLD YOU. THEY SOLD YOU THE DREAM BUT IT’S NOT FOR SALE. THAT’S WHY YOU ARE NEW SLAVES. THAT’S WHY KANYE WEST IS HAVING TEMPER TANTRUMS ON RADIO STATIONS AND MAKING HIS STATEMENT ON HOW FOOLISH YOU LOOK. THIS CONDESCENDING PERSPECTIVE IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE. IT IS THE VERY FABRIC GENERATION X IS BASED UPON.  YOU ARE UNDER CONTROL. YOU ARE CONTROLLED BY HOW YOU FEEL OTHERS PERCEIVE YOU. YOU ARE ANGRY. YOU ARE ANGRY YOU LACK IDENTITY IN THIS WIDE WORLD. YOU FEEL AS IF YOU ARE NOT BEING HEARD. NOW YOU HAVE THE CHANCE TO BE HEARD. THE FIRST STEP OF BREAKING FREE FROM SLAVERY IS ACTUALLY ACKNOWLEDGING YOU ARE IN FACT A SLAVE. BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS A PROBLEM THIS MIGHT BE HARD, BUT BEGIN TO QUESTION WHY THINGS ARE THE WAY THEY ARE AND HOW THEY GOT THAT WAY. ASK WHO PULLS THE STRINGS AND WHO THEY ARE ATTACHED TO… AND WHICH END WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE ON? JUST DON’T ATTACH STRINGS TO PEOPLE WHEN YOU BECOME A PUPPETEER.
