Gente Mente Adelante: Prejudice Conquered is World Conquered Quotes

“Ever Onward to Equality (The Sonnet) Someone once said, Ever onward to victory. I say to you today, Ever onward to equality. Though the objective is the same, In path lies the distinction. I'll say it plainly, to live is to grow, Including the means of revolution. Liberty is fundamental in life, But not by harming the innocent. Revolution of arms is revolution no more, What's needed is revolution in conscience. So I say, let us sacrifice all for society. Let us rise as soldiers of universal amity.”

“People have a tendency to either fundamentalize things or philosophize things - those who fundamentalize things, boast about heritage, and those who philosophize things, boast about intellect. I say, neither heritage nor intellect is to be placed at the supreme altar of the human mind, instead what we must place in our mind's altar is people.”

“No Rest (The Sonnet) There is no rest, Till the last drop of tear is wiped out. There is no leisure, Till the voiceless can speak aloud. There is no relaxing, Till the last empty stomach is fed. There is no sleep, Till all droopy spines are made straight. There is no joy, Till the last grey life is colored. There is no comfort, Till the last anxious soul is empowered. The struggle isn't over till the fallen rise. Security later, first let us be civilized.”

“Struggle my friend - struggle till the last breath in your body - for only when a handful of lionhearts struggle through their whole life for the betterment of others, can the children of tomorrow live in a civilized dawn.”

“Flag Cruelty Fraught (The New American Anthem) Say, can you see, The darkness we've caused? Our star spangled banner, Is a flag cruelty fraught. It ain't land of the free, It ain't home of the brave. Where looks define dignity, Is but humanity's grave. Slavery is alive as racism, Bigotry still claims dominion. First we must treat these ailments, Or else, for us there is no dawn. O say, it's time to abolish all false glory. Forget valor, let's first practice equality.”

“A billionaire's idea of vacation is in space, whereas a regular person's idea of a vacation is on some island or in another continent. And if the billionaires are abusing resources for personal enjoyment, so are these regular people. You have no right to demand moral accountability from billionaires, if you yourself don't mind engaging in your everyday luxuries – for your luxuries may seem dim compared to those of the super-rich, but still the resources you spend on them could feed and clothe at least ten families in developing parts of the world for a year.”

“Gun-Fetish (The Sonnet) When I was in my teenage years, I believed, having a gun would be so cool. Then I grew up and it occurred to me, Firearm fetish is but hysteria of the fool. Guns don't make the society safe, Any more than nukes ensure world peace. Civilians carrying personal firearm, Are but rabid dogs without a leash. If you are worried about self-defense, Daily practice some form of martial arts. Your gun is not only a threat to you, It is also a threat to your loved ones. So I beg you my responsible civilian sibling, Give up your gun and uphold peacemaking.”

“Loco, No Irresponsable (El Soneto) Estoy loco, Pero no indifferente. Estoy libre, Pero no irresponsable. Puedo ser ignorante, Pero no intolerante. No sé la etiqueta, Pero sé cómo amarte. Soy un amante, No un erudito. Soy un guerrero, No un filósofo. Vivir para la gente, Es la misión de mi mente.”

“El Soneto Dorado ¿Donde esta el dorado? No es una ciudad, es una persona. ¿Donde esta el cielo? No es un lugar, es conducta. ¿Dónde está la felicidad? No está en el mercado, está en bondad. ¿Dónde está la salud? No está en máquinas, está en simpleza. ¿Qué es la fuerza? No está la billetera, está personaje. ¿Qué es el progreso? No es lujo, es el bienestar de la gente. Menores necesidades, mejor la vida. Más suave el alma, más ligera la lucha.”

“It is with excellence that we'll revolutionize our world, not with success. Look at all those successful people - not a single concern for the downtrodden - not a single act of genuine compassion for those who have nothing - if this is success, then let me remain unsuccessful the rest of my life while struggling to elevate my society.”

“Hasta La Igualdad Siempre (El Soneto) Alguien dijo una vez, Hasta la victoria siempre. Pero te digo hoy, Hasta la igualdad siempre. El objetivo puede ser el mismo, Pero los caminos no son los mismos. Yo digo hoy, vivir es crecer, Incluso la definición de revolución. La libertad es fundamental, Pero no lastimar al inocente. Las armas no son revolución, Es una conciencia incorruptible. Sacrifiquemos todo por la sociedad. Seamos soldados de la unidad.”

“Hola, Soy GORA (The Sonnet) Hermanas y hermanos, hola, soy GORA, Guerrero, Observador, Reformador, Amante. Thus speaks the human practicing humanity, Despite all agony, no retrocedas oh valiente! To the helpless, destitute and discriminated, I am but a nameless servant most humble. To lift the fallen and make them self-reliant, Is the purpose of my life, straight and simple. Beware o peddlers of hate and bigotry, Get hold of your prejudice and hysteria! When calm, reformist mind brings light, When enraged, it is the fabled chupacabra! Each conscientious being is reform incarnate. From your humane struggle never you deviate.”
