So, you're born as free as the birds, without prejudice or any preconceived notions about life. Then one day you realise that you, for no good reason, are pwned.
Sure, you deny it with the core of your being, you rail against this statement, but one day you'll wake up and realise that you, my friend are being bought and sold down the river day after day after day after day after day.
"But I'm not a slave!" You shout into the void, but, like it or not you are...
A commodity to the collective consciousness of corporations;
You are;
Owned by the overlords of oppression;
You are;
A national insurance number;
You are;
A social security number;
You are...
A bank account;
A credit card;
And a wage slave.
In short you are nothing more than a bag of blood to the leeches who suck you dry day by day by day...
So, what do you do? Do you bow down to the boss? Or do you take arms and fight? Well, generally you do neither. You do what we all do, you find your comfort level & fit in. You swallow your pride and get along.
And why do you do this? Because it is the easy way. Like lightning, seeking to ground itself, you take the path of least resistance because to go by any other way would be too much trouble.
And you can bet your last banana that Trouble with a capital T would rain upon you lie a force ten hurricane if you try to fight it...
Some people, however, will not take the path more travelled. Why? Because their soul; Their Spirit; Their Essence; Their Sotto Voce; Their God; Their Grand Whazoo will not allow them to.
Should they try to ignore The Guiding Voice it will ensure the noise gets;
Louder
& Louder
& Louder
& Louder
& Louder
Until ALL they can hear is The Voice...
Few people manage to listen to The Voice for long. And those who think they can ignore it for any length of time invariably SNAP and find themselves shunned by the very society they seek to change.
The ones who have fine timing, and accept The Voice at the time when it needs to be heard, become Gods amongst men.
Their Image is Icon;
Their Memory is Monument;
Their Spirit is Statue;
And their words become weapons in the war against oppression.
