When a nation is founded on terrorism,
It has an obligation for self-improvement.
If admitting the past hurts your feelings,
Better remain in your mother's basement.
If we really look for filth and atrocities,
We'll find it in the history of every nation.
The real problem is not the history,
But the absolute denial of its admission.
No nation can become civilized,
Till it steps up to right the wrongs.
Admit the errors of our ancestors,
And pledge to never repeat those harms.
Humanity begins with admitting inhumanity.
Lo we are the shield against further atrocity.

You know why the West makes such
a song and dance about nonviolence,
because when your entire empire
is built on systemic extermination
of living cultures and communities,

it really helps if you simultaneously propagate
a favorable ideal of nonresistance to evil,
this way you can criminalize the very thought
of revolution, not only legally, but also morally.

Nonviolence has never been about human rights,
nonviolence is western propaganda,
commodified to maintain moral superiority,
if the tortured communities ever dare to resist.

Revolution is a fundamental pillar of justice,
don’t succumb to hypocritical hogwash –
colonizers should be seen, and not heard,
their philosophy, their theology, all come last.

I’m not talking about exceptional ideas,
good ideas should be studied as individual ideas,
not as western ideas, and western philosophies
must never be prioritized as default literature.
