The sad part about all of this is that although the drummers continued
to drum, the drummers stopped at one point and announced that they
will meet at the clock tower next time. Take some time away from the
scene for a while.
Two went to jail for their cause and now they are going to back down.
What was all the fight about if in the end they will relinquish their
rights and lose their place to freely assemble?
Does this mean we will continue to relinquish our rights to the powers
of force and corporate greed fovever?
When and where will we assemble as human beings instead of robots,
buying goods downtown and going back to our little boxes to watch our
little lighted boxes to entertain ourselves instead of relate to one
another?
Building up our trash cans with useless waste that we wouldn't need if
we didn't have to package it in tight plastic so no one will steal it
before it's sold.
Scowling at people who can't or refuse to buy shit we don't need. Who
look different from us and may have a difference of opinion from us.
Will we get on our little hamster treadmils to get our exersize and
shun the great outdoors because we fear the people outside who look
different from us?
And fear the police might tell us to buy something or move along.
Keep moving, don't stop, you might find someone who'll tell you it's
bullshit and you might question authority! God forbid!

And the Sum Dim's of the world (bullys who hate others) putting
people's opinions down with
fast-action pace. Crushing any feeling of friendship, solidarity, and
even possibly brotherhood with someone who thinks different then they
do. Coming up with the most painful thing known to my
heart......HATE.
Oh, how sad it is to see the disease, HATE, take over our lives.

Thank you, dear arrested friends, for standing up for our rights while
I cower on the side and retreat when a cop even looks at me.
How I love you for your couragous fight!
May you be at peace tonight. Hopefully you are now released and
holding your loved ones in your arms and thanking the Great Spirit for
another day of saying, no thank you...I will NOT give up my rights
today. If not, I will pray for your release to the end. And
Always..always back you up as the true warriors of this world. They
went to jail for justice!
