Je suis/ I am what

I am sorry but this is not a movement
I dont get what people are saying
Are they trying to romanticize this event

Whilst taking a step back by perhaps conversing with different schools of thought
It can look like a rehashed
I am Spartacus
Moment
And for those who do not condone the gunmen and are not turning this controversial writer or illustrator into a hero
A martyr or a freedom fighter
Are meant to now say they are him
And be swept in the furor of a superficial movement
And the slogan on the other hand has separatist connotation in a different light 
As I said in the beginning
I am what
Charlie ok how about
I am anti-islam
I am white
I am European or even
I am intolerant
I am uninformed
Worst I am racist

And comment sections has been melting pot for people of those orientations

And at the same time this is also being seen as white issue by some
Some have remarked how deaths in other places have been underreported

And the very fact France posted these words above the arc de triomf within days and you had world leaders flocking to show solidarity in these times of mourning

Others have been questioning why thus urgency is not shown elsewhere

For example so far I have not seen America openly acknowledge the
I can't breathe protest
Instead
People where being criticized for doing it on a sports stage
But when similar sport athletes have shown memorabilia in reference to the actions in france the same people were congratulated

Which fits exactly into the slogan ran through that time it was black lives matter but you can switch the black for any other colour or race associated with people

And in closing
With all the cliche pen quotes flying out of the woodwork recently is this
Really about freedom in its mythological state
Or is it about freedom to offend not even constructively
As many have claimed it is the end of the abhorrent political correctness

Because with this episode we must wonder what will come from this
Will it be I can say what I like 
Now with the immunity of
#freedom of speech
Or f.o.s
Or the word foss
Like I the I am not racist but
Or will this be the more ficial and help strengthen society

I read that the previous ruling party in Spain had drawn up schemes  to combat the people who would be targeted

By a greater inclusion in society with employment of varied importance

Such as teachers and civil servants

So to transform that statement like it was not only charlie that died and be inclusive how about

je suis humaine
Eu sou humano
Yo soy humano
And every language/idiomas we have
So lets
Start dealing with human problems as humans
We can start with unity
No hatred
No sexism
No racism

What does freedom sound like






Read them and weep
A line synonymous with gambling
But is becoming the blanket freedom of speech is being smuggled in under
At the moment it is being romanticized
Freedom of speech does exist but does not exist in a separate world from consequences
And lets be contemplative we know this we may act as though they are not
You can shout bomb on a plane and there will be repercussions
Or be racist on Twitter and get arrested
And many are ok with that
And the fact that you live in a country you know certain freedoms are restricted or don't exist because of such
And so the argument is more layered than mere freedom of speech as you can see from the bbc comment section on the matter
And it is more about the subject that can be paraded under the safe haven of free speech
And it is freedom to attack or mock religion but for many a religion in general
Many will point to monty python
And that instance of portrayal of a certain religion
But that is it a certain religion painted in the likeness of the people mocking it
Which is with the commentary on the subject it can easily trample where it should walk delicately
And proceed with finesse but instead a sweeping motion is used
And some will say why cannot people from other perspectives share their thoughts on the matter
Nobody is saying that
But it is funny how this same claim on entitlement is not channeled constructively
Or demanded elsewhere like world peace
End of poverty
Or having a direct voice in parliament but are fine for third parties to represent them
Why because of eloquence competence or simply because it is an emotional flash in a pan
But if we expand momentarily on eloquence
With regards to the satire section of freedom speech which sparked action as well as discussion
Act like they have never heard of injunctions
Censorship
Or even the mute button
And are people really arguing for people to unabashedly mock people
From unparalleled heights or unmatched distances
And if satire can be stretched as such on what grounds do you ban extremist speeches
So if on this topic can we pass the silly notion of freedom of speech
And with this can we the proposed energized populace
Ready to persue unrelentingly righteous justice go forth and do so
Or is it a chance to peak out our true potentially racist faces
And sound the drums of a xenophobic war cry
And slightly revel in the extortion of other people and lands 
When we normally cry dumb and have new avenue to explore satire

Example












Be the change you want to see
Has been drilled into me
When my words I unfurled fell on deaf ears
Which created tension and vexatious atmospheres animosity to peers
In reaction to stonewalled and jeers
To reevaluate your situation
What is a fisherman that is uncapable of catching fish
Birds that cannot fly
Fish that dont swim
They say actions speak louder than words
But alas they are not as precise
But what is delicacy to rough materials
And sign language to the blind
Good tools in the wrong application
Drowning whilst teaching others to swim to quote George the poet
Attempting 0-100
Like  there are no numbers in between or after
What needs to be done can be started by the willing to then be passed onto the brilliant
We may have been passed vapour but does that mean we must carry on the tradition
Providing these el dorado maps
But have not even verified these markings are in line with what they represent
And while we battle the destabilization what are we building countering such
So we may preach get off of the street but have no place to direct them to
Now let us provide shoes for them to walk into

Passport

I read a quotation again recently
That education is your passport
Which separates people
Tourist and travellers
Clients and consumers
We send off our details and money with snapshots of our faces
To get this pamphlet showing places you have been and for how long
And with that you can then pay for plane boat or train and cross borders
Then there are people who do this without external authority
But without digressing yes you can travel places but depending on your education you can only go certain places or may go there and never come back willingly or unwillingly
Especially language wise and customs wise
Though This world is everyones for some of us it is merely metaphorical
Could you pack up your bags and move country and be up and running again for many moving towns is to much
And for some it is areas within the same city





We want what the world has to offer but are not always in the place to utilise such  opportunities
Aside from the external hurdles presented to us
What are oysters to passports
Tram tickets to airline tickets
Would you rather be turning down offers than being turned down by them
Investment
Is seen only as stocks and shares
Which is a philosophy of imbalance
And If december is seen as the month that seeds change then if our January remains the same we failed somewhere along the way
How much was spent on externals
New shoes clothes you name it
How about a Rosetta stone
Or a new skill
Or cultivating the skills we do have
We do not have to be landlocked entities entirely but what do we desire to be

Delicacy








The world our world is a delicate one
And the main difference you find in people is the realisation of this fact
And as long as there is disparities in this issue the new world will be the old one
And the ignorance of history means many of us will waste our lives replaying the worst elements of a base existence
Which is why the phrase knowledge is power has been diluted and paroded and now morphed into money is power
And as you go through your journey you see the people who you leave behind
Perhaps more or as talented or gifted as you
But it counts for nothing because of the lack of knowledge
And the fact that nearly every country holds a lottery
But with all that proposed power been constantly thrown around wouldn't we also constantly being power shifts and grapples
And on the other hand how many countries have knowledge lotteries
Providing random people the access or awareness of law philosophy politics technology and language
And to think of your standing power talent political and economical power
How much standing do you have
And many of us are if we became redundant are one month from homelessness
And there assets exist on screens or in someone elses pockets
And though supposedly living in the most economically rich hemisphere In the world that has not excused me from witnessesing poverty
Though many would defend that with racist semantics pointing to the lack of utilized wealth in other places like it is exempt here
If in the west or elsewhere they have no control of their sustenance such as protection from the elements
They are the same people
Just because charities do not plaster billboards staged like plays to show a people a culture a land in disarray that you should your non sequential change to provide though they mean facilitate change
By building wells and schools exclusively
Not to end conflicts and rearranging trading treaties no just wells and schools
Yet I digreas there are many people who have the capability of realising their potential
But have no social knowledge or economical power and are living off of handouts
You can call them benefits or jsa and sometimes it is unskilled Labour
And these people are only superficially better than others they look down apon
And sometimes these beggars actually have more liquid funds than them
With that this is one of the distinctions between classes ignored that if the middle class fall upon hard times they can become working class or return to such
Whereas what happens to the working class when hard times come along
And anyone who works has purchasing power but what do they purchase
And many people spit out time is money
If over half your day or two thirds of it is spent sleeping or working what do you do with the last third of your day
Is it spent realising your potential or realising others
And to think the basic lowest wage in some countries is 20 thousand a year how many of us will have up to a third of that revenue by the end of it
Or will we realize others potentials during the frittering season or the holiday season as some call it and now for many countries the added black friday has come to tempt money out from peoples savings
So if you leave this and need one question what do you own

New year where









New year were celebrated and proclaimed
But what does it really mean
For some or many it is tradition or the following of fashion
For others it is an occasion to dress up and have an event
For others it is business
For others it is work or any other day
I was briefly discussing with someone what was done on new years
One was about alcohol and drugs and on the other hand it was reflection
But that is the sliding scale that can be viewed from a calendar date
Which brought me into many avenues of thought what is the point of new year processions to then regress to an old year
And if we approach it as such maybe many of us have not had a new year in awhile
Or that it is not really a new year until something new impacts your world
Because in this age we can skate through on the nuance and newness of other peoples lives
Do you go from the haze of potential grandiosity
And can seemly touch world peace


Before returning to monotony racism poverty and inequality
And the biding time for the cyclical carousel of celebrations to spend money on or dress up for
Shouldn't new years be everyday
But how many days in the year can you say it before its just next year
Its a new year
Really really
What because of the earths travel
In the cosmos
Yet my people are starving
Dying  and
jumping borders as tall as heaven with the thought of a better life able to go sleep without hearing gunshots tonight
Maybe I am judging the new year too
Soon

Food out of my mouth and into yours










I was out the other day and during that time my path was blocked by a man
Picking up a cigarette from the floor
He was with an older gentleman and he stopped in front of me after diverting in front of me
So I stopped and then after he checked the utility of the cigarette butt he turned round and saw me and my companion and then proceeded to ask me for money
I generally did not have
Anything
But then he was about to turn away but turnt back one last time and asked me for the food I had nearly finished
I refused to give it to him
Then he went his way
But afterwards I couldn't shake the episode from my mind
I went on to run through it many times
Wondering if I had failed at any step
To do the best action
Should I have gone to a shop with him and bought something on my card
Was he really that hungry wss he being an opportunist or just trying to toy with me
The money if I had it might be only a potential help and
The food could be immediate but then it might be potential
As well since it was the end of my food
But personally I couldn't give some one thr crumbs from my mouth
But there is an argument it was the least I could do
But the is potential help which could produce a sense of righteousness and false belief of help
When it is aid
Did I want to make a martyr of this guy
What if I took him there to the nearest food dispenser and he demanded treats I do not afford my self
