lust for life constricts the mind. Too obsessed with our years confined inside mortal vessels we forget that we were once stars, and will be stars again. The very atoms inside us infitely beyond our comprehension. The energy we so ignorantly abuse existent since the dawn of time. Enslaved to pursue blind follies, we taint the earth the grants us life.
From the day you were born they tried to force close the open doors of your mind. Carve out twisted windows in the splintered shapes of apathy and pound signs. Life is but a drop in the endless ocean of time, but it has followed it’s rain cycle so many times. Yet we only care for the single drop branded with our name.
Why live a life cowering in fear from the inevitability of death. Counting down every heart beat, each shallow breath. Break the bars on every cage of fear, unchain your mind,
and love.
Love even the bars of the cage. Forged by the lust, hate and rage of those never taught to unlock their rib cage,
and love.
Do not let it pull you in, laugh until your stomach caves in, cut the ropes that bind your wings and fly.
Death will never be my end. Even as it draws near as I feel deaths blunted scythe ripping through each tendon I will stand firm.
For I know the ashes of my grandfather are the reason the roses grow.
I will never hold back the tears, internalise the fear, become an addict to the sweet poisons of anxiety.
I will expel this corrupting mentality, embrace the cancer of man, I will not let our atrocities drown us.
Do not forget the life savers, the campaigners, the activists, those incarcerated for their politics, the writers, the artists and you.
Every single cell of you. Because you were once a star.
Don’t you dare forget how to shine.
If life becomes a razor wire do not let go. For all the pain and bloodied fingers keep hanging on.
Because you, you were once a star, and you are so , so powerful.
Words can save lives. So speak until the rivers of your throat run dry, let the countdown of you heart beat be the great drums to the song of revolution. Using our minds as dynamite we will explode every construct that binds us. Because we were once stars, and you cannot dim our shine.
