raison d'etre?

The best thing about regimes of oppression, is that at least you know who is fucking everybody over. You can point a finger and say "that Mugabe"... or "that Hitler"... I mean at the very least...seems quite warped, i know, to be looking at it from that angle of the telescope. But when you are a child of freedom, born into a 'free' 'democratic' society, and things are still pretty much fucked up...Who then do you point a finger at? Who then is the 'enemy'? Right now, it seems that people are generally in a worse position. Why? Because even if you for some reason felt a sudden revolutionary urge...What exactly would u be revolting against? 

In my opinion the 'regime of oppression' that we now face, is in fact far worse. It is worse because it has embedded itself like a tapeworm in our intestines... like meningitis in your brain. It has somehow became entangled with your very being and your body. It is the disease, the plague, the apocalyptic fifth horsemen of revalation...It is the curse of normality. The lines of normal that seem at first glance so clear, its rules so black and white. Like a schoolmaster beating the drum for children to march to...watching how they act, what they do, and and how they think. An assembly line of existence. Except, we are the children of convention. Our existence, our being blanketed. Being moulded like clay mannetjies. Like trainers train their dogs. Be obediant. Always listen to master. Maybe you'll get a reward for good behaviour. 

We have become 'machine men with machine hearts'. We are asleep. We are unconscious to our reality. We are unconscious to our being human, to our humanity. We have forgotten that we are human beings. We are called human beings for a reason...Because being human is a process. It is not an objective that one achieves. It is not final, complete, and definite. Being human is acting and practising.Your  humanity today is not given. Your humanity and the type of human you should be is already directed, decided for you, if you remain unconcious, if you dont wake up. 

Create your own recipe for being human. break out, liberate yourself, and THINK, and feel again. Wipe away the sand from your eyes and your heart. Wash away the grit of gloom and despair. Cleanse yourself. Be Borne again.

history is not always about what you remember, but what has been destroyed by regimes of oppression and domination...what lies buried in the ashes of memories of memories...what lies buried in what you dont know... yet it lingers like generations of generations..influencing and moulding your present...You...unaware.

the ground beneath my feet
i know was made for me
there is no any one place where I belong.
my spirit's meant to be free
and soon now everyone will see
life was made for us to be what we wanna be!

IT'S YOUR WORLD
it's yours and yours and yours
and what you see
was not meant for me.
IT'S YOUR WORLD
but you don't have to be lonely
'cause in your world
you are truly free!

the thoughts that fill my mind
are a very special kind
because they're home to me and me alone.
and then i realize
that we all have a home inside
that was meant for us to be what we wanna be

it's your world
it's yours and yours and yours
and what you see
was not meant for me
it's your world
but you don't have to be lonely
'cause in your world --- you are truly free!

music of life fills my soul
music of love makes me feel whole
as human history unfolds before my eyes.
my spirit's meant to be free
and soon now everyone's will be.
it's your right to be whatever you wanna be!

IT'S YOUR WORLD
it's yours and yours and yours
and what you see
was not necessarily meant for me
IT'S YOUR WORLD
but you don't have to be lonely
'cause in your world
you are truly free!

IT'S YOUR WORLD
it's yours and yours and yours
and what you see
it was not meant for me
IT'S YOUR WORLD
but you don't have to be lonely
'cause in your world
you are truly free!

(refrain)
you are truly free
to be what you wanna be
you are truly free
to be what you wanna be
you are truly free
to be what you wanna be
you are truly free
to be what you wanna be
