planetize the movement
we are standing on a planet
that is shooting through space,
and it’s time we started acting like it
imagine nations with freed imaginations
it’s time for s/he who
sees the way
to seize the day,
seize the hour,
seize the levers of power
and
be the change
a new page,
a new stage of drama
we need a movement of movements
in the age of Obama,
‘cause not even a messiah could cure this empire
we need all of us
to face all of the past,
and move past it
I ain’t gonna study war no more,
except in history classes
globalize liberation,
planetize the movement—
you can't stop
the Earth's revolution.
would settle for half-truth
so I’m at it again with a pad and a pen
some things deserve to dissolve
and the last shall be first and vice-versa
(you are floating
on a planet;
act accordingly)
cryosphere melting,
ten trillion tears
to a vanishing planet
Earth—dream blossom
of the cosmos:
silent universe,
speaking in species
every cell is intelligent
cultivate bioluminescence
the breath is the bridge
imagine nations with freed imaginations
we are standing on a planet
that is shooting through space,
and it’s time we started acting like it
globalize liberation,
planetize the movement—
you can’t stop
the Earth’s revolution.
