The Matrix - shared spoken-word poetry

Saw this several years ago, a brilliant spoken-word poem inspired by the movie 'The Matrix' and the urgency to change the current issues of corruption and destruction. The main message (quoted below) is even more poignant and urgent now.

"We’re using poetry to tell every man, woman, and child across the land that our destiny is in our own hands, and all we have to do is take a stand. . . and here’s how.

Stop paying for credit, stop paying the bankers tax, use interest free credit schemes instead, buy all your consumer durables second hand, buy everything else from markets, family businesses, and charities only, stop watching televisions news and stop reading news papers too, and if you work for a publicly limited company, leave your job immediately, and finally demand that the bankers give back the wealth they’ve robbed from humanity.

Too much to ask of you? Too much for you to do?

Go back to sleep then. The matrix has you."

Tides of change

they weave the dark
turning it into the fabric of dreams
their time is now
a change in the air
and it may not be what it seems
but to make a start
rising on the back of silent wings
it's their destiny
from the prophecies of old
we stare and wonder what the tides will bring
