Izpoetry: Excerpt from "Tales fom a journeyman's pen."

To whom it may concern...
We are not your collateral, your goods or your chattels, nor are we your slaves or servants. When you think or speak of human rights, they are also our rights .When you insist on equality, we insist you be equal to us. Do not flatter yourself with the deception of your own perceived goodness. There is no mirror great enough to reflect the unified potential of our collective humanity. We do not crave your tolerance, you need ours, we are the majority in the world. We do not seek to dominate. Without wisdom your power is worthless. We do not cultivate armies of occupation nor generate nuclear propaganda. We c0ntain the meaning of peace, without which there is no meaning to life. We are not neutral, we do not support your wars, nor are we distracted from our steady progress, by the self indulgent feeding frenzy of compulsive consumerism. Our austerity is not poverty. We have no hidden agenda, no ulterior motive. The path we tread the saints have trod before. We have no master and ask for nothing. Civilization is our code, it is not written in a book. We do not wait for orders, our intelligence is civilian. We are of one mind , we are in accord . The sustainable future is our domain. All lies will perish only truth will remain. We need no opinion, we are the way forward. Progress is in every direction at once ,Chaos or the Eightfold Path. Love will not wait to be abused by mere tolerance. We didn't enslave you, nor slaughter you by the millions. We do not wish to be like you , you must try to be a little more like us . Don't flush your potentialdown the drain in the name of the love of an easy life. We may not be blamed for the sins committed in your name. We are all responsible for the future of the world , it's only big enough if we share it equitably. If you continue to slaughter the saints and the innocents, only the devils will remain to reign in a desert of ignorance. We are the people of the world displaced by your Empire shagging glory We remember God. God remembers us. Mutual regard, mutual respect, One is equal to one without division. There is no way forward without our co-operation.There is no way back. Join us or perish by your own hand.
