Hold Onto Your Anger

no amount of positive change in the world which has advanced the betterment of us as a species, has come about by staring into the face of idiocy, malicious intent, straight out murder, slavery, oppression & genocide & then trying to win it over with concessions & compassion--- it is discontent & rage that have come about as a direct result of the forces in this world which think that they can do to you what they want when they want--- without it, there would be no progress. anger riles the individual the individual gains strength the strong individual speaks to another & two become four, four become eight--- sooner than later, anger & anger alone has brought together a mass of people who understand that what has been going on can no longer be so--- SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE anger produces power in the “powerless” by allowing them the courage to say that there is nothing to lose when it comes to striving for rights denied to you--- hold onto your anger clench it in your fist & never let it go for what you have inside you is just--- what you have inside you is a need to utilize every part of your being & if your anger is all you have at your disposal (that which cannot be tainted by those outside you), then it is more beautiful than anything & it is yours & yours alone--- it is representative of your own voice, your own life & your own ability to resist the destruction of your will.
