Dear protester,
-
I see your words
Your reason
your duty to stand for your rights
I see you explaining
belonging to the 99%
I see you pointing
to the buildings arround you
“It’s their fault
everything is their fault”
I understand your reasoning
-
But you see,
Nobody is perfect
There’s nobody
who has the intention
to make you lose your job
all your money
and your home
but only
in some circumstances
there are shareholders
there are business man
there are lobbyists,
politicians
and bankers
busy all day
running little parts
of ourĀ global economy
where profit
is sometimes better
then people
excluding themselves
and their friends
and family.
-
just sometimes
those somebodies
you call the 1%
need to keep
their relatives
happy,
and yes
it happens
that they do it
by indirectly ruining
our families
and maybe even
our planet,
our friends,…
-
because they believe
you can survive
in this system
they will say:
“free markets work”
-
and yet
sometimes it does
sometimes it doesn’t.
-
They will continue
working, doing their job
whatever what it takes
because
that’s what they
think is good
for you
for them
and for this planet
-
But please understand
nobody is good
nobody wants to be bad
nobody is perfect
-
you need to find a solution
that works
talk with them
understand their reasoning
so they understand yours
open up the conversation
-
You all have people you love
and you’ll fight for
wether you’re a banker
or wether you have
good reason to be angry
-
There’s is no such thing
as being in control
of this planet
-
There’s influence
and understanding
-
Please wear a suit today
walk into their meeting room
and convince them
change is needed
and they will agree much more
when you
speak their language
and don’t offend anyone
-
Keep your honor,
while they may have
already lost theirs.
-
-
All the best,
-
J.
-
PS: Change will come.
