WHO'S WITH ME

So it's officially the day after the 4th. Finally, I won't get into the whole freedom thing because really, there's just not time. I just got through posting a bulletin on myspace, and I did this as an experiment to see how many folks are out there that can read through the lines and are ready for some type of global action. Now with our (americans) present political situation being what it is, I for one am damn damn tired! And I know that a small majority of the people are as well.

So what I did was write a simple protest poem. But within it lies a plan. And I'm dead serious about this people. In the 60's we had a mild march on washington, it wasn't the design, but it got the attention, and the purpose was served. Now I feel that the time has come again for action...no words poets, action. And when I say action, I don't mean some violent uprising of chaos, or some small time march; I mean global action.

With the popularity of the internet and the frustration of the people, why don't we have a time of protest. Why not have each city have a demonstration and put it up live on the net so that the world will know that that particular city is not in line with the views of the national government? And why doesn't each city do this at the same time in conjuction with other cities??

Now I've met some folks who say that they are "bout it bout it" and all that, so here's the test. Who's with me? I'm down to assist in organizing something, my only request be that it's big and global. I'm tired, you're tired, but no one is doing a damn thang...so who's up for the challenge....

holla at me, i'm serious, u know how to contact ya boy!!
