To be a revolutionary ...

By Nadee Gunasena

We are made, not born. We are built, not birthed.

We drive we dive we remake.

But first we must break.

Break it bust it shatter through

It cannot be improved. It cannot be worked upon.

We’ve been there done that still broken and bloody.

Time for the institutions to break not just our bones and our spirit.

Walls and policies should shatter before the might of human lives.

And then there’s hope. The status quo becomes history.

And the future becomes potential.

Blank spaces build something new. We start over again.

This monster cannot be retrained. It must be remade.
