In life, there is a natural flow.
It is the flow of people on streets.
The flow of the sun, radiating down on earth.
The flow of water in the rivers and seas.
The flow of the seasons, changing annually.
The flow is everywhere, critical, essential and fundamental to life, love, and liberty.
\u00a0
In life, there are walls.
These are the walls like a sore throat, stopping you from singing.
Dam walls stopping the waters from wading.
Walls separating families, stopping the flow of so many lives.
Walls like being stuck in a job, because you have to feed you family.
Walls are everywhere, they create distress, death and destruction.
\u00a0
In life, there is a drug called money.
I have pity for the people addicted to this drug.
Money corrupts people to destroy their land, their ancestors\u2019 land. This ancient, sacred soil
air and water.
Money, the drug that causes human\u2019s so much craziness, corruption and confusion
\u00a0
Lungs. Lungs and tongues and teeth and lips.
These are Our weapons to speak our mind; to Change the world and fight for tomorrow.
Let\u2019s use them for good. Without the corruption of money.
Let\u2019s stand in unity as a nation, as people, as citizens of earth.
Let\u2019s stand, and break through the walls!
We need to fight, to stop the raising of a wall at Warragamba Dam!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
