A New World in our hearts ( a poem)


We are building a new world in our hearts
red and black flags united against the system,
with courage to demand nothing for us alone
but everything for everyone else,
following a map towards tomorrow
developing our own journeys,
both individually and collectively
as we travel, exiting dark pathways.

We don't want to rule others
and we will not be ruled,
we have no masters, our thoughts are free
we have removed the chains that bind us,
demanding the impossible 
disintegrating capitalism,
creating the world we want
with messages of power.

They try to reject us

degrade us, belittle us,
shame us and ignore us
because together we are strong,
but in unity we are fearless
as we eradicate their consensus,
with revival of revolutionary spirit
we grow wiser, move beyond obedience.

At the moment, our insides ache
filled with emotions of love and rage,
the daily delusionary shackles of greed
living only now to feed our need,
among widening circles that reach
                              out across the world,
believing in hope, not the detritus
fill our pockets with resistance,
keep on building  new worlds in our hearts.
