Leah-Lynn

when they come for you with a fistful of “legal” excuses, covered in camo, bearing guns & battering rams, when they handcuff you & the people you live with, when they turn your house upside down & accuse you of being in places that you haven’t been, when they make you aware that they know what you write about, what you paint, what you sing about & that they know who your friends are, what your ideas are & that sooner or later they think they’re gonna get us all---remember those like Leah-Lynn Plante who refused to cooperate, remember her silence when they want you to speak & ruin the lives of all those around you fighting for a better life, remember that she’s been locked up with the key thrown away at 24 years of age to stare at the wall for at least a year, remember that no progress has ever come from complacence, compliance & convention, for this is an age of interrogation, this is an age of rounding up people who disagree with the status quo, who refuse to take part in a system that has more care for profit than people--- one to follow those before & one that will be followed, no doubt, by those to come--- until the empire falls or is broken apart from within, allowing the possibility of something new to grow, not out of greed & opulence, but from compassion, intelligence & honesty. write her in solidarity: Leah-Lynne Plante #42611-086 FDC SeaTac PO Box 13900 Seattle, WA 98198
