EXPLOIT THE CONTRADICTIONS: a pop riff on insurrection

we are living through cataclysmic times with a political class that is playing with fire
we must dream boldly as we organize—deploying radical imagination as we conspire

this despotic regime’s hold on power is as perilous as it is catastrophic
its up to our resistance to build the social power that is required in order to stop it

we must exploit all of the contradictions—sowing the seeds of insurrection
its time to envision alternatives to this system—time to pierce the toxic fog of mass white deception

we trans and queer rebels are reclaiming our pride—black and brown leaders fight with wakandan power…
we are conjuring a transcendent spiritual fire—inspired by the heavens in this apocalyptic hour

we must open our eyes to the energy of our ancestors—open our hearts to fall in love with new comrades
its time to center the voices of our trans sisters—time to unleash an earth-shaking revolutionary fusillade

our movements will be a laboratory of neurodiversity—devising a cerebro cyber-wired with vibranium
we must give space to feel emotion in all its intensity—we must build neo-feudal chainmail and armor of platinum and titanium

so sure we were onto something—hypomanic evolving towards the zenith of manic zen
its time to mindfuck and get our synergies in synch—its time to gestate and transform into an ejercito armed to win

decoding the hieroglyphic fables and scriptures transcribed on the night sky
rewiring and redesigning the matrix for interstellar flight

i am self-medicating—but i am doing it with care
our minds have an infinite capacity to evolve and become self-aware

divine provenance is at play in the vicissitudes of classwar
transcendent spirits arm our tribe with angelic grace and sacred lore

contradictions abound in this decaying social system—perched on a knife edge between rival catastrophes
we must understand the material roots of our social norms and the subterranean roots of our dominant ideologies

its time for the subaltern to rise triumphant—time to abolish the curses of class and of caste
let the superficially urgent make way for the cosmically important
lets uproot all of our intersectional oppressions and tear off their deceptive guises and masks

we exploit contradictions with dialectical power—understanding the substance underpinning the disguise
we see a rising phoenix—electrified and spiritually potent
we conjure a new dawn of science and spirit in the blood-tinged gaze of the phoenix’s regal eyes
