Righteousness is a high-interest loan
The "good" fight
Winning the battle

Tomorrow, we are marching.
When we see government officials ignore the Law, we get angry.
But please—do not confuse our anger for a lack of love.
It is the same love that led us to serve that leads us to this anger.
We are not rioters.
We are not trying to ruin our country.
We are soldiers and sailors who still believe that no one man is above the Law.
Without the Constitution, the "USA" is just a set of coordinates.
We are marching to defend the Country we love.
NO KINGS.

We are a verb trying to pose as a noun.
The self is a ripple that never stops moving
returning to itself only to change again.
The signature is just the ice left behind.
A mark of where you were, not a map of who you are.
Don't mistake the echo for the voice.

We are born into a story
already in its tenth chapter.
The "debt collected by culture"
is the weight of our ancestors'
unresolved arguments and dogmas.
You inhale the air of the present,
but you are immediately taxed
by the ghosts of the past.
Whether it’s religion, national pride,
or family tradition,
culture is the debt collector
reminding you that your "original" life
has a lot of previous owners.
Even the smallest green thing is measured
by the metric of consumption.
The moment you are branded as a consumer,
the culture starts sending the bill.
It's a process of quality control,
ensuring we are standardized
from our very first breath.
The identity we claim
is just a batch number.

Courtroom commerce.
A blindfold made of bills
is just a way to keep the light out
and the ledger in.
When the price of a "not guilty"
is higher than most can pay,
innocence becomes
a luxury item.
Sight is a surcharge.
When equity becomes equity,
the scales don't weigh evidence;
they weigh gold.
Justice is meant to be blind,
not bribed.
Once she takes a peek at the pocketbook,
the law is no longer a shield,
but a service.
The archives have been thrown open.
Every whispered word and dark transaction
is now a matter of record.
Truth has been dragged from the shadows,
naked and cold,
forced into the witness stand.
But the gavel never falls.
We are learning that transparency
is not accountability.
There is a law that governs the many,
stripping us bare for our transgressions,
and a separate, silent law
that covers the few.
While the truth stands shivering,
those who benefited most from the silence
remain polished, pressed, and perfectly insulated
by the very power they used to write the rules.
Nature gave us a skeleton;
we decided everything else was negotiable.
There is no "original" human state to return to,
because being human is the act of self-fabrication.
We traded the cave for the city
and the campfire for the smartphone,
but the huddle remains the same.
We aren't losing our nature;
we are merely updating the hardware.
