Why We Witches Are Here
7:59PM on December 28, 2011
Because the world we imagined, the one we had always counted on is disappearing.
Because the sun has become cancerous and the planet is getting hotter.
Because children are starving in the shadows of yachts and economic summits.
Because there are already too many planes in the sky.
This is the manufactured world you have come here to codify and expedite.
We have come to tell you there is something else we want to buy.
What we want, money no longer recognizes like the vitality of nature, the integrity of work.
We don't want cheaper wood, we want living trees.
We don't want engineered fruit.
We want to see and smell the food growing in our own neighborhoods.
We are here because a voice inside us, a memory in our blood,
tells us you are not just a trade body,
you are the blind tip of a dark wave that has forgotten its source.
We are here to defend and honor what is real, natural, human and basic
against the rising tide of greed.
We are here by the insistence of spirit and the authority of nature.
If you doubt for one minute the power of truth or the primacy of nature
try not breathing for that length of time.
Now you know the pressure of our desire.
We are not here to tinker with your laws.
We are here to change you from the inside out.
This is not a political protest.
It is an uprising of the soul.............................. BB ~ LL xxx
