We are not merchandise or mercenaries. We are not products that sell themselves. We cannot be bought or leased--we are already self-possesed
What child earnestly dreams of growing up to be a grill cook, a popcorn vendor? What young heart yearns to manage advertising accounts or supervise fellow "team members" at a corporate supermarket? We are dropping out because the market offers us no wealth we can recognize. Digital video discs? We're sick of watching actors, we want adventures of our own. Political parties, legislative solutions? We want, for once, the experience of using our own power, representing ourselves. Tell us we need more education, we'll laugh --- we know that there isnt room for all of us at the top, and we're starting to question whether we want to be there, anyway. Tell us we need better work ethic, prescription drugs, career counseling, psychiatric care, perhaps a summer on the student hostel circuit, we'll jeer --- we know, finally, that the problem is not us. We are through with symptomatic treatment, blaming the victim. You always told us if we lost our jobs, it would be the end of the world-- sounds like it's worth a shot!
We are fighting for our daydreams! When we cannot stomach another hour of this, we side with those moments we surprise ourselves, flashes in which anything feels possible, peak experiences that may last only instants—and therefore with every inhibited impulse, forbidden pleasure, unexploded dream, all the stifled songs which, unleashed, could create an upheaval like no one has ever seen. And when the dust settles afterwards, we will side with them again.
Right or wrong, selfless or selfish, possible or impossible,
we are getting out of here.
Whatever it is that pulls the pin,
that hurls you past the boundaries of your own life
into a brief and total beauty,
it is enough.
When the choice is between living and dying...
I no longer have to be afraid to live my dreams.
