RE-VISIST: “DOMINATED, WE HAVE DECRIED MORE READILY THE EVIL OF OUR SUBJUGATION THAN THE EQUAL EVIL OF OUR SUBMISSION.”

(15 January 2008 by Carl A. Patton)

The dominators came to rule and

control often denying independence

to the peasants and the material

less upon the earth.

Meanwhile those kept in camps

and interment often hollered and

cried out about the pain often

self-inflicted.

Those subjugated that meet subjugation

talked and discussed that they

were conquered and ruled. But which

way did he go to cause his suffering?

But what of equal evil of our own

submission. Standing by and accepting

fools knowledge and not

what came from God and made sense.
