Announcement from Citizens of Good
A Public Service Announcement

Important notice!
Disassociation from history
Is henceforth prohibited
As of this moment
We live in time
Walk in step
Acknowledge our purpose
Honor our people
Learn from our past
And build an honorable future
False claims of self-righteousness
Need not apply
It is no longer acceptable
To claim moral high ground
Accompanied by unearned privilege
With intent to harm
With intent to withhold
With intent to force alignment
We, the free
Reserve the right
To disturb piety
To silence oppression
To stand against brutality
To protect one another
To express rage in due process
To disrupt order when necessary
To obstruct violations against humanity
To disobey at every unjust turn
We implore
Fellow citizens of good
Fellow advocates for true peace
Fellow patrons of sacred love
Fellow members of the free race
To employ protocol
Built from time past
Prepared for time present
We ask
That you ready your minds
Prepare your hearts
Strengthen your bodies
Gentle your spirits
Awaken your anger
Activate your senses
Open your eyes
And humbly
Offer your lives
For
The time is now
The moment has come
And an in order to rise
We must be willing to fall

A steady stream of words from an embodied Gemini full of dichotomous thinking, philosophical conversation, and deep emotions.
