For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. – Nelson Mandela
Imagine you only believe what you already think you know. WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT.
Imagine you only hear from others what you have already been telling yourself.
Imagine a country where you are forced to stand to pretend you're free.
Imagine a country where government makes you have a baby but won't let you care for it. Let's celebrate that.
Maybe put the baby in private cages. In the dark. Just the brown ones. For now.
Imagine a country where science is denied. Where the water lapping at your toes, nothing to be worried about. But don't drink it.
Imagine a country where gun manufacturers control fortified schools and prayer is not only allowed but necessary.
Let’s celebrate that.
Imagine a country where you can't marry the person you love because the government stood up when the padre asked, Is there anyone here who will speak against this union?
Imagine a country where you can't ever vote again cause you smoked a weed in the wrong state Unless you're white.
Imagine a country where local Sheriffs have tanks and helicopters and children go to bed starving. If they have a bed. Let's celebrate that.
Imagine a country where three college dropouts have more money than the bottom half of all the people. Why it's called the bottom. Freedom. Something to celebrate. Maybe blow some shit up. Scare all the dogs.
