in the greatest filth we swarm we die (we are) hunter and gatherers of modern times in mountains of concrete we survive though you cleared us out of your mind this is life too, but not up to your taste the sunrays caress our weary faces our smiles are toothless but honest it´s a misery fed happiness every thought is like a cut with a knife we place our bedsheets on bare asphalt boozed up angels guard our sleep that´s the price of being free counting time backwards measuring it with the loss of our teeth there might come one day (when) y' all will have to live like this the dirt on our faces is the dirt that you make the garbage that feeds us is the food that you waste For some reason I respect more those who are engaged in a day to day survival than those fighting to realize capitalist dream, getting from rags to riches. Homeless people often build communities where caring and mutual aid serve as basic principles. They got to live a life depending on the waste production and (sometimes) help or call it “charity” of the consumerist society. I truly believe that there are many things to be learned about comradeship, caring and social/communal structures from homeless communities, thus I would never be able to look at them with pitiful eyes. They prove me that beauty and the will to live can flourish in misery as well.

like dogs on chains who serve their master for food day after day to our bosses we obey with economic hierarchy the product slips out of our hands they turn goods into money to redistribute it in an unequal way they entertain us, lull us to sleep of our energy, they are in need they govern us, our religion they preach of our creativity, they are in need they want people who like dogs on their chains that serve their master for food to their bosses they obey A world divided into dominating and dominated (groups of) people is unjust by its’ nature. We have to question the “divine” right of exploiters (be them kings, politicians, industrialists, bosses and etc) to make use of other people’s physical strength, time, creativity for their very own interest. Institutions, such as democratic governments, “national culture”, armed forces, police, organized religion or in some cases even science only help to maintain this distinction between those who only enjoy the fruits of human labour and the ones who produce, but cannot enjoy them. DIY communities often realize policies based on the equity of all participating members. They organize protests and manifestations, community kitchens, they set up shows, libraries, fairs and markets, they run youth or cultural centers, they occupy buildings and use them for non-profit goals, some release records, publish books, some hold work-shops and share what they have learned etc. Each of the examples above contradict somehow to capitalist rationality, thus often has to fight the capitalist (for profit) equivalents. Do not let them disappear, fight for what is just! No gods, No leashes, No masters!
