It’s 3.43 in the morning and I can’t sleep…
I am woken by a Mic check
[Mic check]“This is just the beginning.
Occupy is a process”
[Mic check]“Slow it down,
the issues of our times are urgent.
Slow it down,
Your attention is needed.
Occupy is an invitation
To wake up
Join us
Occupy is an invocation
To wake up
Join us
TWe the people, are the ones we’ve been waiting for
We have lost our faith in the leadership of government and big business
We have found our faith in each other
We have found our humanity in the beauty
and the clumsiness that is Occupy
We are finding our way.
Occupy is a process.
We the people, are so many more than you see here today.
We the people, are a voice for peoples and beings who have no voice
Occupy is process
Occupy is community
Occupy is an invitation
To wake up
Occupy is an invitation
To be the change we want to see in this world
To be the courage that asks questions
To be the patience taking time to find answers
To be the hearts not prepared to wait any longer
for the madness to end.
For Occupy is an invitation
for love
to be made visible
For humanity
To wake up
For humanity
To wake up
Join us.
