Good morning, my fellow Americans. It's time for us to truly wake up.

Why, I ask you. Why have you, the 99%, granted total control of our beautiful land to the undeserving, unconstitutional, unethical 1%? We live in the Great Oppression. For more than a decade, we have lived under the oppression of our power-hungry government, our greedy big corporations and our rigged education system.

Our government has played us for fools. This "two-party" system is a sham. Republican and Democrat officials alike need the other party to be their "enemy" and care for the other more than they will ever care for their fellow man, and even less for their American people as they use and lie to us. With their silver tongues and loyal medias, they pour their propaganda and fabrications into the minds of hapless people who now blindly follow their respective party to madness. Families and friends alike have turned on one another and some even fight maliciously because of their insipid devotion to these false idols. It is what they want and they will brainwash any and all they can to deter attention from their totalitarian agenda while the streets are alight with gang warfare, drug traffic, racism, police brutality and domestic abuse to name a few problems.

Big name corporations have monopolized the market and taken capitalism to new lows. Scores of desperate citizens earn stagnant wages, work stagnant hours while money-hungry CEOs lower funding by substantial numbers for minuscule profit increase. Addictive additives and unhealthy ingredients are used to raise food sales, unsafe and substandard merchandise is sold to cut corners and exaggerated and misleading advertising is used to rope countless unsuspecting consumers in. While the rich grow rich and the poor grow poor, they spend their wealth lavishly on themselves while the downtrodden grow more and more desperate and more and more helpless as they strive to raise their children and make ends meet.

Our high schools are factories where worker bees are produced and education is forgone. While children in need suffer and grow bitter against their peers, others are groomed to become blind and unyielding employees to the growing 1%. Some who "graduate" go on to become successful cogs in the well-oiled machine while others are simply cast aside. Our colleges are grossly overpriced as punishment against those who will not conform and dare to truly learn and make something better of themselves. Student loans grow more and more and financial aid can only do so much, and even when they graduate, scores of young educated adults are cast aside, alone and in debt.

My fellow Americans, if after reading my words you feel aggression or hostility, I implore you, do not embrace the rage you feel. We human beings are not born hating, but loving. Rather than allow anger and hatred to grow inside you, pass on peace and love to your fellow Americans and fellow man as well. 99% is not weaker than 1%, but I can assure you, there is no need for violence, there is no need for hostility, there is no need for hatred. Our government works for us, we support our corporations and we are the true teachers of our children. We can take our country back peacefully and we can build a brighter future with hope and love, not bloodshed and battle. We Americans are capable of so much more, so much better, than blind rage and mindless feuding, and we deserve more than the iron-fist rule we have toiled under for so long.

Please, America. Wake up. Start anew. Breathe new life into this dead land once again. Truly take your country back, once and for all.
