Be Not The Meek

“The richest one percent of this country controls the wealth of this nation.” If you want to talk numbers, that means very few control the lives of very many. Isn’t it that way across the entire world? I have heard it said that the meek shall inherit the earth... It seems to me they already have. All they get is a mouthful of dirt to eat everyday. I say be not the meek. Do not endure great suffering in patient silence. To effect change in any place, at any time, one need only stand up and occupy a space. That is what I do every day of my life.

Forces seek to deflect me, or constrict my physical presence by blocking my path or attempting to push me out of my space. I am the meek and, believe me, I will not suffer in patient silence. I will not be deflected, dismissed, constricted, or blocked. I’m gonna take up space. I’m gonna push and shove. I’m gonna dig and scrape and claw. I’m gonna scream bloody murder because that’s all I fucking know. I’m gonna kick and fight. I’m gonna stab and bite until the meek inherit more than a face full of dirt... Until the richest one percent pays back all they stole to build their castles.
