is this your life?

seriously,

you alone feel your pain,

you alone feel your joy,

you can share those thoughts, but not the experience,

you are the beginning and end of your life here,

We have had thousands of years of a way in which, might is right, the mighty and the merciless. Where the one with the most forceful will or strongest fist or best weapon, has been allowed to rule. Simply because others have supported them, to shelter themselves and their families from the ruler. The alternative would be to stand together and remove the power from the ‘one or few’ because it is so harmful to the many. I believe that the majority of people understand this, and are slowly waking up out of the fear of the ruler. The Emperors New Clothes is an apt analogy. Allied to those who are seeing it anew, are the ones who have been victims of the rulers. In my opinion its about realising you are a victim, enslaved because you accepted their rule, thereby condoning it. You voted for them, recited and believed their propaganda, as seen on tv, or read out on the radio, or printed in their newspapers, bought their products, because they told you they were good. We have let them divide us, and have divided ourselves, by forgetting we are all individuals, with our own ways, and instead have allied ourselves to cults and groups, rallying round a flag or ideology. If I met you on the street, your beliefs are irrelevant, I care about how you treat me, your flag or ideology, nationality, sexual persuasion, religious persuasion, or assumed position in society is not relevant.  Children understand it naturally, you are a child but older and mislead is all. United as a collection of individuals, all divisions removed, we could change this existence, this world, and live in a way in which you and I could live in peace.
