i found this written on a piece of paper in the back of my journal from febuary and I absolutely love it:

i believe in art.

i believe that grafitti on subway cars can be just as beautiful as masterpieces in the museum.

i believe that the quality of maracas and tambourines can surpass symphonies

i believe in love.

i believe that the shy smiles of children can melt the hearts of cruel dictators.

i believe that unity is not syonymous with homogeny.

and that we must love one another or die

because love wins.

i believe that love - sexual or emotional is valid in all forms and sarced.

and that only unhappy people judge people

i believe in another world that is coming

with streets of green

i believe that change will only come only when we bring it.

i believe that God is peeling away at the layers of hate in our hearts like ugly retro wallpaper and whispering that we are beautiful in our ears.

i believe that we could be doing better than we are.

i don't know the excuses that we'll make to further generations. "We we're just following orders" has grown stale.

i don't think they'll accept our excuses

so i hope we can drop the egos apologize

provided that we haven't destroyed everything ,

i believe that if we orient our lives in a way that is beautiful and productive, we won't have to make excuses, and we'll have nothing to apologize for

i believe that we can only pledge alliegience to ourselves

'cause we're all free agents.

i believe that the time for dreaming is coming to an end, and the time for doing is on the horizon.


I'm ready, are you?
