With Love From A Blue Rock Quotes

“Nazis Were Nice People! (Sonnet) If you steal from the thieves, can they call the cops! If you heist from the blackmarket, is it really a crime! If you rob the British Museum, isn't it a humanitarian initiative! If you blast Mount Rushmore to ashes, isn't it really public service! Nazis are the most dehumanized community in history, while empires with hundred times the atrocity walk like they invented morality. Nazis were really nice people, they just wanted what's best for the world - tickles you the wrong way, doesn't it, yet you idolize buckingham and the pilgrims!”

“Earthright Anthem (Sonnet 2613-2615) The soil is older than every border, older than flags and state decree. Earth is property of no brute empire, nor promised prize of manifest atrocity. No badge can baptize brutality, no holy water can bleach blood stains - the land remembers the salt of tears of every people ever slain. Women are indigenous to their bodies, Palestinians are native to their home. Privilege cannot buy righteousness, nor can blind faith redraw chromosome. When erasure becomes ape religion, mutiny becomes human right. Stars that burn for others, wither in body, but live in light. From Palestine to Kashmir to America, every land shall be humanized, not by bullets and atom bombs, but by atomic people against the lies. Acts of terror by governments are still terror all the same, genocide wrapped in diplomacy is just murder by another name. Divide and rule, marks the animal, unite and integrate, makes humankind. We are stardust come alive - unbent, unflinching, borderless mind. Human is the bridge, and bridge is the truth. Nobody is undocumented, on a planet built on loot.”

“Decolonization Anthem (Excerpt) We are children of the Global South, not a lost cause or subjects of pity, not tax breaks in a donor’s ledger, nor footnotes in whitewashed history. Our lands are rich with brains, our soil is rich with minerals, our veins pulse with creation, hearts bright with civilization. They looted our gold, then sold us “aid” – they burnt our libraries, then sold us “education.” Colonizers were the real cannibals of history, out to civilize humans with far advanced society – suffering of the South was not bad luck or destiny, just the grand design of Manifest Atrocity.”
