One of the best definitions of an anarchist comes from Ursula K Le Guin: "One who, choosing, accepts the responsibility of choice." When was the last time you chose, regardless of the propaganda of the state or any other hierarchy, to ignore a stupid rule and accepted the responsibility for your choice? That's when you were an anarchist, whether you knew it or not. The more often you do it, the more of an anarchist you become. Another comes from Robert Heinlein: "I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do" If you have a heart and mind that long for freedom, you are an anarchist. Welcome. TANSTAAFL!

Sunday Afternoon Sermon
I told myself a day from tomorrow, that I'd stop this pity and get along with sorrow. It sickens me and leaves me here, UN-guarded and filled with a craving like none before.. the needle it sinks in my skin as I slowly am embodied into clay, morphing into the different sounds and feelings that illuminated the bare room. Staring into my own face, looking at the face of death with no regret. I walk on day by day revealing this unnatural smile of mine for all to glance upon. Put out of sight, out of mind, I can't find myself. In the sympathy of thought that nestles the moon, I am hiding here because of what I will be soon. The next drug addict or ****** H E L P ? G O D ? A N Y O N E? No one is there. Thy creator left me in a dark place, where my mind could never set free, could never escape. This is my destiny, my fate. Hurry! Don't anticipate before your timing is too late. Somebody call the mortician, somebody get him here fast, because soon enough nothing will last. Just the foggy memories of my decimated path, It lay tangled at your feet, I'm your aftermath. The anarchist ******

Anarchist ******
existing only in the memory, in the mirror sublime image, a dotted line wanting, crashing, writhing fatally imaginary conversations, air drawings no friend to call mine, intimacy denied crunchy brain turning to foam classes blurring, ears ringing banging the floor till wrists are bruised profanity, cruelty, pretty girls hating feeling unwanted by boys (and the girls) invisible or dissolved? dishonoured, disgruntled, disillusioned, disenchanted how right I was all alone my subconscious mind sending tremors        disconnection with my own spirit "I am" I constantly whisper to myself   in the little gaps of time I'm not dissociated    fully aware of my material,                                     not a vaporised form that I assumed from the treatment of others vapours solidify, vaporise, dissolve and vanish

cursed gods, don't make blessed humans cursed devotion, doesn't make a conscientious society cursed patriotism, doesn't make a great nation cursed community, though, does make a great solidarity                     a great humanity                     a mighty                          revolutionary                          collective consciousness iff (if and only if)          the cursed motherland          blesses it's children          drives wedges between          the hostile oppressor          and the devoted native a cursed community,    doesn't need a God                       or a hero    it needs devotion                unto each other your land will take care of you~
