I Choose Violence

Yes, I choose violence, I chose to make chaos with my words, I choose to use this weapon to fight my battles, I choose this because it is the language oppressors understand. I chose violence, I do not mean to be physically aggressive, And I do not mean to cause physical harm, But I will be violent in how I register dissatisfaction, Violence is the only available and viable option. I choose violence, I will ruthlessly delivery on my roles, I will work to ensure that I leave no stone unturned, I will exceed expectations, This form of violence will exonerate me on my resting place. I choose violence, I will vote that violent man you know of, Democracy and economic freedom are foreign constructs in our motherland, At least the men around this delusional man are faking it right, I choose violence. I choose violence, It is the only way my voice will be hard, I am a proponent of silent revolution, My body will stay intact my voice shall be loud enough, The option is violence or violence. I chose violence, I will be ruthless in my character, I will exercise restraint, And maintain a character of heaven, After all, violence is a language in heaven, Didn't we read that the Kingdom of heaven suffereth violence? And that the violent take it by force. I choose violence!
