control

in class the faces and the nods of agreement were fire, they were burning the walls of a protesters' house. no person in the crowd could say they would throw their wallet into the night ocean if it meant freedom. i wanted to ask a question while at the concert on monday, "how much would you sacrifice to be free for just a little while. i dont mean financially free, i mean spiritually, physically and mentally free of the people who control us; the media, the politicians, the green paper that floats away in bad dreams". no words came to my mouth.

but i said once that a galaxy doesnt care how much money you have, a nebula doesnt care about your new car, a black hole will laugh as you slip away into eternal black///we will all go away someday, and we are the same, so why do we fear the ones who seek to control us?
