sometimes revolutionaries hone tendency to sicken me

we're supposedly about change. about better. about life-fighting & struggling to provoke elevation from all present pitiful existence. we do the work. we bleed. we sweat. we cry. we offer ourselves in the fullest & most direct ways. don't stop til shit is done, and then come harder. pushing. shoving, hoping. wishing. praying. willing. making happen. we make it do what it do. and we make it good.

however.

we can also be the most pompous jerks of our generation. hell, even those of past generations can be pure assholes. we're so quick to disown one another over politics. something as manmade as religion, which we also use to separate. i don't get that. yet, of course, i am unique in this. non-conforming to the usual. the norm. what we all decide is 'right'. in saying this, i acknowledge, absolutely everything with me begins with being completely personal. its who you are. not what you're about, study, read, practice, teach. who you are at the core of your truest self. this is what draws me in & keeps me. this is where i choose to rest inside your journey and walk your path or leave you standing in your Way.

i hope i never become this condescending revolutionary. this patronizing activist. this judgmental cultural worker. with anyone, but especially my People. one thing we lack is patience & understanding. we don't have to take vulgar & disgusting behaviors, actions & words and call it love, or even love it. yet, keeping the open mind & heart to listen, learn, teach, heal, and plant seeds where the soil is plentiful and fertile will elevate us toward the Next.

just saying...
