I'm reviving this blog.
This was an old post I started to write probably 4 years ago, in response to Occupy's original inception and the hope felt by many about the way it was evolving (until the police state shut it down). But you can't keep a good underdog down. We are many, they are few. We will, like water, keep moving, and we will smooth boulders of obstacles into river stones. We will prevail... for the benefit of all future generations... for all sentient beings unable to speak humanesque, legalese or have "standing" under human laws. We stand for Them under Universal Law.

Occupy will not die. It will morph into whatever it needs to be at any moment inside or outside of time. We will learn to occupy ourselves and thus see the planet for what it truly is, and own responsibility for the pain and torture we inflict on it, on ourselves, on others - and choose a kinder, more compassionate way to live on this miraculous planet earth which supports us. From this place, we have a chance to solve the great problems besetting us. Nothing will be solved until we see ourselves as a part of this living breathing earth, and one with it, and humanity as a speck of sand on a beach - one beach among infinite beaches.
We would never burn our skin or drill or blast holes in our own body, to drain it of blood or water, and suck it all out of our body We wouldn't mine our bodies for organ extraction, leaving gaping wounds or worse, filling the holes left with filthy water. That is what we do to Earth when we drill for oil or frack for gas or blast for coal, or murder myriad forests of trees, and all beings and ecosystems dependent on them.
The Earth is the only currency we must protect. If we don't see everything here as part of us, if we don't see ourselves as part of everything, we are doomed to extinct ourselves with all else we are extincting.

Occupy
That crowd of unwashed
kids and revolutionaries
corporate corruption cleanup crew;
I want to live with them
in their tent cities
No leaders needed
white men
last in the circle to speak
after all others
A different man and woman
leads each day
Listening
is our guide in the dark
We’re all willing to be lost
We’re about to run out of dough
shift
to a whole new paradigm
Debauched kingpins
and slavering pretenders
say we’ve got a dilemma
Awakening of the many
terrifies the oppressors
still they won’t keep their hands
out of our pants
We no longer tolerate
any system of slavery
Help
will always appear
from likely and unlikely sources
We awaken
to our collective Sovereignty
hope
to evolve earn equality
with all Life Forms,
sacred co-creators, teachers, friends
of homo sapiens. We let ourselves be
speck in the sands of All.
speck in the sands of All.
We won’t ask anyone’s permission to take
our rightful place,
help someone, something.
So much reparation is needed.
