To Stop The Traffiking In My Mind
desconocedores el conocido
How do we go back and unlearn the things that we have discovered? Why would we ever want to? Sometimes I wish that I could forget the things I know, that I could leave behind all that I care for. An overabundance of knowledge has exhausted me; but how can one who sees the injustice, who realizes that "that's just the way things are" is not an excuse to live for yourself, ever close their eyes, ever rest, ever stop plotting ways to change the infrastructure of global foundations? You cannot unknow the things you know, you just have to let it consume you. Until your brain feels like it cannot hold anymore information, until your heart is swelled and your eyes are heavy...because there is nothing else to live for if you aren't living for justice.

I cannot think of America without thinking of:

una falta de la verdad
How does one live within a world while at the same time trying fervously to deny it? How do you change the unchangeable? How do you stop The Machine, The System, an ideology that goes beyond presidents and congressmen and tyrants and CEO's and soldiers and citizens?
How do you fight what you cannot find? Deface the faceless?
I cannot think of anything without thinking about everything, without realizing that there is a serious lack of truth in the world...
How do you unknow the known and in doing so willingly make yourself Ignorance's slave? Why would you want to? Sometimes it's easier that way, and sometimes people die without leaving footprints in Time, ending without ever beginning, allowing the creation of what was never meant to manifest continue.
Cometa
No, there is no way of going back. Even a glance over your shoulder does no good, to wish for youthful antics, to wish that your mind would open and in one final exhale release the fight, surrender.
But I cannot claim defeat...I commit to truth.
