we still believe that this could be a place to live in freedom and peace. there’s still fire in our hearts, let’s get this done! it’s time to start! feel the anger, feel the rage and all these things undone left for you to care, to make things better, now go ahead. it’s “what we want we must create,“* forget about the mistakes made and shout it out: this movement’s alive! give proof to the world that our minds are still there. refuse, revolt, resist. get rid of those chains that hold you down to the ground. tear down, destroy, erase. vision is clear, the end in sight. walking towards a new day’s dawn. the clouds are fading as we are passing the ruins that we’ve left. the dust has settled and revealed wreckage and debris. we’re standing on an empty canvas ready to be filled. we’ve managed to be able to build from scratch again. it was worth the effort. it’s always been “no pain, no gain”. look at what we have achieved, look at the new legacy. a fertile field for life in peace we’ve created this together, using our minds. that’s why now i can see that this movement’s alive!
