I do like many of u appreciate the comforts of the everyday routine the security of the familiar the tranquility of repetition
I enjoy them as much as any bloke,but in the spirit of commemoration whereby important events of the past usually associated with someone’s death or the end of some awful bloody struggle are celebrated with a nice holiday.I thought we could mark this november the 5th a day that is sadly no longer remember by taking some time.Out of our daily lives to sitdown and have a little chat.
There are of course those who do not want us to speak.Even now orders are being shouted into telephones.And men with guns will soon be on their way.
Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation.Words will always retain their power.Words offer the means to meaning and for those who will listen the enunciation of truth.And the truth is there is something terribly wrong with this country ,isn’t there?
Cruelty and injustice into lerance and oppression.And there once you had the freedom to object to think and speak as you saw fit you now have censors and surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting submission.
How did this happen?Who’s to blame?Certainly there are those who are more responsible than others.And they will be held accountable.But again truth be told if you are looking for the guilty ,you need only into a mirror.I know why you did it.I know you were afarid.Who wonldn’t be?War,Terror,Disease.
There were a mgrlad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reasons and rob of your common sense.Fear got the best of you.And in your panic you turned to the now chancellor.
He promised you order ,he promised you pease and all he demanded in return was your silent obedient consent.
Last night,I sought to end that silence.
More than 400 years ago,A great citizen wished to inbed the 5th of novermeber.Forver in our momery.His hope was to remind the world that fairness justice and freedom and more than words.They are perspectives.
So if you see nothing,if the crimes of this government remain unknow to you then I would suggest that you allow the 5th of novermber to pass unmarked.
But if you see what I see,if you feel as I feel and if you seek as I seek.
