GUERRILLA ARTS BRIGADE Anthem

Welcome friends
to this sensational moment
of deviant audacity
to the explosion of invisible walls
the shattering of silence

We have come
to interrupt the humdrum
of daily modern life
to break the barriers
that blind us from each other
breach the ocean of courtesy
and connect emotionally

We are here
to remind you
that all people are human beings
who eat, sleep, dream, love, laugh, and cry
who are full of stories and passions
who wish and work for happiness

We are here
to shake, surprise, and wake you
throw you a thought that will stick
like mental graffiti
like a seed in your tooth
or a song in your head
make you think, talk, move, act
tune in more frequently
to your own frequency

We are here
to speak out against oppression and war
to name and condemn forces of terror and greed
to resist ignorance, to combat apathy
to activate evolution through human creativity

We are here
to call on all earthlings for unity
to resolve in a joint effort for justice and peace
this is a public service announcement
this the universal movement of self-determination
join us now please as we intentionally approach utopia

We are here
because all people are poets
creators, somewhere, somehow
Gifted with thought, speech, articulation, emotion
We are here to celebrate the madness of being alive
the joy of breathing, the miracle of mortality
We are here to remind you
that you are all unique, beautiful creatures
gods and goddesses
of vast vision and power

We are the messengers
of this moment
We the outspoken poets
Revolutionaries of art

We are Representatives of the Republic of Poetry
Patriots of the image–eye–nation
Anarchists of performance
Lunatics of love

Let all who have ears to hear come listen

We are the Guerrilla Arts Brigade
and we

are

HERE!
