an inner battle to decide my battlefields...

I have lobbied Congresspersons twice now, for international efforts to really protect the civilians of Darfur in Sudan.

I have shouted in the streets at a war protest on October 5, 2006. I have laid on the cold asphalt in front of the very building i would later delegate to, in solidarity with those needlessly killed in Bush's wars. Inside the federal building, there was hung a portrait of Bush.

I am still trying to subvert his authority.

((I did not elect him. I speak out against many in power in the rich, western world.))

I am still going to subvert their authority.

I am one who is against the rulers who know nothing of the people.
One way or another, baby. for one sin or another, you're goin' down... I'm gonna rescue my brother.

whether in the
Black Block,
Black Bloc,
or Black Box
...i'm going to subvert your rule. i will not play by your rules. i do not have to ignore my family in the rest of the world.
i do not have to put myself above others.
i do not have to buy more crap to please myself.
i do not have to marry.
i do not have to raise a child in this world.
i do not have to get rich quick.
i do not have to say the pledge of allegiance.
i do not have to live with their blood on my hands.
i would rather die with MY blood on YOUR hands.

i am not God. i am not always right. but i know that you are wrong.

in the words of Kokolo, from the Afrobeat Sudan Aid Project (ASAP),

"Mister Sinister, a word with you sir,
Kindly please let me speak my mind,
Mister Sinister, a word with you sir,
Kindly please let me speak my mind...

So much blood upon your hands
How can you make valid claims
To define yourself as civilized?

Murder hides behind your smile
As they fall for your profile
Find another fool to sympathize.

Why, why would i bow to you, Mister Mister Mister?
Why, why would i bow to you, Mister Sinister?"



--Mister Sinister, a word with you sir,
Kindly get the hell out my way!--

{when all else fails, brothers and sisters, never forget why you are fighting}
