Human beings are so orgasmic. When there is a lot of excitement around something, everybody is at the forum, the meeting, & the march. Theres a nice, big explosion & everyone has a good experience. As time goes on, people come down from the orgasm. They go back to their regular lives where they just touch themselves to get a good rise...without truly engaging others. This means that during the next steps & follow-up meetings....attendance dwindles. All thats left are the people who are willing to experience the ups & downs, the small triumphs & the big disappointments... they wanna be engaged in the PROCESS of change. I mean no disrespect to your orgasms. Do your things. Organize your one-time rallies. Get your bullhorn. But dont tag me in your temporary high. I want no parts of the multiple orgasms. Yes.... you see me posting intriguing thoughts. But dont get it twisted.... my name & work are not to be used for fading moments. My parents named me after the revolution, not after the rally. Im proud to live up to it. Being on the front line is not like being on FB. Posting up in the trenches is not the same as posting to social media. I truly applaud your enthusiasm. Im happy about however you wake up & try to get involved in social justice. But please.... dont tag me until the orgasm is over. Wait until you are sure that you dont wanna take the morning after pill. If youre cool with the long-term commitment, THEN get at me.
