Attack the Roots
The time is coming in which we will need to begin to seriously consider enhancing efforts of resistance to systemic injustices that are rooted within society. The time has come to ‘attack the roots’ of capitalism and the ills that it brings and reinforces throughout society. It is time to consider community-supported forms of struggle and resistance against the very system that has, for too long now, been predicated on oppression and injustice so a few may benefit. This is the time to resist.
Because I’d Rather Be Flag Burning
Patriotism. Nation. State. Nationalism. Allegiance. Duty. Flag. Words perhaps not so different within the context of the modern world in which we live. We are quick to place them in the same category; one that insists upon a harsh obedience to a status quo. A status quo of silence, if you will.

Nor is this a definition that may be easily passed off, and have no consequences whatsoever.
Days of Love and Rage
What is creativity? Creativity is pushing the status quo to the brink of self-destruction…

Settle Me
Flying flags with arms in hand
Network lies many don’t understand
This land has been taken for good
22% is all that may remain
We have taken to amassing wealth
In a form that may deprive all
Build them up to the highest heights
May we watch these walls fall
