Revolution

Posted on by Katie Ernst

Human dignity, now there’s a righteous cause. Up hold that and defend that. Rise up against that which holds it down.

Revolution

The discovery that you are wrong

You accept it, change it, and move on

It begins with that discovery

Without it ignorance and confidence will blind you

To  discover what is wrong in the World

It begins in the personal, within you

And then translate to the system, the impersonal, the Man

It doesn’t start with blame or pointing fingers

Blame yourself, point inwards

 

We all need a revolution

 

Human dignity

Now there’s a righteous cause

Up hold that

Defend that

Rise up against that which holds it down.

 

Remember the part of the iceberg you cannot see

The tip is small and it did not sink that mighty ship

Dig deep and don’t rely on surface solutions or conclusions

 

We all need a revolution

 

Maybe tomorrow we will all take to the streets

to protest some worthy cause

Or maybe we will start a student group

that is cleverly named “Tranarchy”

What if we simply started a dialogue

A dialogue revolving around

Love

Truth

Openness

And in that dialogue we find answers

We discover together what is wrong

And together we accept it, change it, and move on

 

We all need a revolution

    I love how you open with the inward look. The most overlooked part of a revolution, is the internal revolution that must happen first.
