We Are One

We are no longer a loose collection of flags because we are now one world of interdependent countries, communities and people. We can no longer abide by the living conditions set by the lowest of bars in the most exploited of corners of the globe. We must now rise all people up to the standards we all expect for ourselves. We are one people and we will not abide having our lives and our futures and our children's futures being dictated by those who would destroy our lands, our air, our food, our water and our only home in the name of profit.

This is our world to claim in the name of our children and our children's children and in the name of generations to come. We are one and we are legion. We are the 99% that have served as foot-stools and step-chairs for the 1% who have siphoned the blood of our sweat to serve as wine with feasts of bloated luxuries. We are their brothers and sisters whose callouses have hewn rows upon layers of civilizations celebrating our bonds to each other as humyn beings and we demand our right to live in dignity amongst them.

We are here together by the grace of that which cannot be known and we are equal to each other in ways which this world cannot measure. We are bound to each other in this place in ways which we must respect and support or we are no more than animals foraging for survival. We are one and we are legion and we will be shackled to systems and societies we have created with our hands and minds and hearts to live as a people together no more. We will live as one in this world together to rise to our potential as divine caregivers to each other and to our place in this world and in this universe.

We are one and we are legion and we are all together, 100% or we are not humyns at all worthy of the bounties we have been given.
