Author’s Note: A transcript of the poem I performed at the EU 2017 Conference. As this is a performance piece, it is written the way it is meant to be spoken.
Dear Dying System:
I am an observer… but don’t think me mute
Give me a pen and i’ll shoot
Words that ringggg like ammu-ni-tionn
Bringing you dowwwn to pure sub-mi-ssionn…
You see, there’s a flawww in your scientific design…
For the people are ready to take back their mindddd
You don’t believe me well here’s the proof
The struggle right nowww is the struggle for truth
We can’t run from this des-tin-y
We’ve been stifled too long by rela-ti-vi-ty…
While ignoring the power… of e-lec-tri-ci-ty
An answer….soooo elegant…in its sim-pli-ci-ty
So let’s wield our pen like a thunderbolt…
Our voice like a bow and arrow,
Sending out wooords of emancipation
Words for con-scious-ness liberation…
Intended to raise….. our future vibration
Cause if you look realll hard you will find
That truuue freedom, it starts in your mind
So to undo yearsss of scientific confusion
This must be the first site of the re-vo-lu-tion
Because we cannot see if we’re blind…
And the first step is to take back our mind
From theoreticians and… ma-the-ma-ti-cal magicians…
Who conjure black holes…while fostering revisions
They confuse us with endless equations….
That contradict their own pedagogical persuasions
So it is time…to…take…the story…from…them
And it is time to name the source from which all things… stem….
It’s s in every star……being……planet… and flower…
It’s time to embrace its ubiquitous presence
And acknowledge its universal power….
Cause there’s a shift…there’s a shift…there’s a paradigm shift!
