There are many constraints that are beyond our control. They often fight to define the boundaries that we are able to overcome. However, it is our experiment with our lives to figure out how to resist.
We are not powerless even though we have no power. We are not losing just because we are lost. Our will to affront the usurpers of our lifeβs freedom is our own weapon.
We must have the conviction to overcome the norms of definition That fight to establish who we are and where we fall within our own societies.
We must not succumb to the norms of definition Of a Hispanic, a first generation American, an urban denizen, A middle class or on the verge of poverty individual, a minority, or a foreigner.
We must find a way to resist even if it leads to our end.
