Listen Up, New Generation!
Throughout history,
revolutions
and new ideas
have begun with you,
not with the rich
and powerful.
They envy you.
The tech barons and billionaires
sail in oligarchic boats,
drafting laws
not to heal your wounds,
but twisting them
into a language
spoken by the quiet calculus of greed.
They sail along,
singing the same song.
They don’t give a damn about you.
Don’t give the super-rich
even more power.
Remember, they belong
to an exclusive surveillance club.
They track everything
and anything about you.
In the name of convenience,
they can turn you
into a profitable product,
Without asking you.
They fly high
on their enormous egos,
fueled by a constant
adrenaline rush.
You are invisible,
not even on their radar.
They live inside
their own bubbles.
The emergency parachutes
are for them,
not for you.
Young and courageous
generation of this country,
your body, your choice.
Democracy is your voice.
The future of our country
belongs to you,
not to the powerful few.
We cannot afford
to say nothing,
do nothing,
see nothing.
Mother Earth is sick
and burning.
We cannot repair this world
without you.
Register to vote.
Otherwise,
the powerful few
will keep steering the boat for you.
