Who are they?...

-VQ

------------------------------------------

They control everything we see, everything we hear, and everything we feel, therefore; our minds are theirs. Theirs for the taking because they birthed our brains so they can do what they want with them. Their intellectual (ignorant rather) property. But, at some point in our olives we must choose to break the chains and check ourselves. Stop and ask ourselves where we get our ideals from? Do they sit well with us? And do we really agree with them?

When we’re younger we just swallow the information that is fed to us and regurgitate it. Because that’s what we’re taught the moment we enter the public-school system. Repeat and regurgitate. Repeat, regurgitate. If you repeat it properly- as in the way they want—then fine. And if you don’t then you fail. And that’s how they keep us down and dumb, bound and numb.

All the while they are laughing while we spit their standards in each other’s faces. Slandering one another’s names and cultures. Disgraces. Nameless faces painted brown taught to be frowned upon. Vagabonds of sin spreading confusion, circling our carcasses like vultures. The silky sound of Spanish rolling off slick tongues leaves such bitter taste in their mouths. We’re too loud and too proud, they power-up to take us down. Their push and pull power play is morally unsound, politics poisoning opportunities for our people within no reason to be found.
