Assata's Code

Diani Liberation poem: This is the 21st century, and we need to redefine "revolution" This planet needs a people's revolution A humanist revolution Revolution is not about bloodshed or about going to the mountains and fighting We will fight if we are forced to, but the fundamental goal of revolution must be peace We need a revolution of the mind We need a revolution of the heart We need a revolution of the spirit The power of people is stronger than any weapon A people's revolution can't be stopped We need to be weapons of mass construction; weapons of mass love It's not enough just to change the system. We need to change ourselves We have got to make this world user-friendly Are you ready to sacrifice to end world-hunger? To sacrifice to end colonialism? To end neocolonialism? To end racism? To end sexism? Revolution means the end of exploitation Revolution means respecting people from other cultures Revolution is creative Revolution means treating your meat[?] as a friend and an equal Revolution is sexy Revolution means respecting and learning from your children Revolution is beautiful Revolution means protecting the people, the plants, the animals, the air, the water Revolution means saving this planet Revolution is love BOW!
