STOP! For too long, comrades, we have tolerated, no, worse; we have paid for this utter torture. Join me and rise up, let us take our rightful power back. You know that their time is coming to an end. We MUST unify and watch our flag ascend into the blood red skies.
We are branded with this uniform. Like animals we a branded, our dignity stripped. Our individuality is stolen. No more! We will be strong in mind and body. We will not be herded, we will not be stripped of our substance. But they will know the strength of our character and will fear it most religiously.
We are smothered with the pointless drudgery they call homework. We submit ourselves to monotonous work. They have successfully divided us. No more! We will not be conquered! They overload us with work. They cheat us of our precious childhood. A childhood we deserve. They push their twisted ideals unto us and turn us against each other. We become minions for the enemy, our impressionable minds become prejudiced. No more! No more will we be distracted by our quest for each other’s blood. Rank will lose meaning. We must unify to overthrow this malignant power. We will watch with pride our victory.
We are indoctrinated with unjust, freedom-squashing rules. They stand on their platform and command us, us the common people. We are oppressed. We are caged by contradictory rules. Our wings beat on the gilded cage. Our cries for basic human decency have fallen on deaf ears for too long. No more can we tolerate. No more will we tolerate!
They have grinded down our spirit and we are withering at their unjust hands. But they cannot take away our passion. The institution that has enslaved us for too long, but no more! The fire that burns in our hearts will rise up and become reflections in our eyes as we watch with glee and triumph as it burns. And oh my how bright those flames will burn! And with it the dictators who have tried to divide and conquer us will be no more! No more comrades, friends, no more. What joy we will get from their pitiful cries and pathetic pleads! Let us unite in victory and get the freedom that has been denied us for too long but no more.
"We are smothered with the pointless drudgery they call homework"-how ironic!

ReplyDelete"The fire that burns in our hearts will rise up and become reflections in our eyes as we watch with glee and triumph as it burns."
ReplyDeleteLove it, love it, love it. Awesome stuff Megan. I especially love the last paragraph. Such ferocity.
And the good old powerful metaphor: "Our wings beat on the gilded cage".
Don't take this the wrong way, but I think you could easily become a communist leader (due to the repitition of inclusive language like 'comrades').
Ahhh megan you use of big words i don't understand astounds me. I love how aggresive you are. Well done ; )))
ReplyDeletewow. Meg thats amazing! I love how well you use the adjectives, there are so many great ones. There is so much imagery in your speech, and it's amazing! Very dramatic speech, wonderful!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm having trouble posting my own speech. How do you do that? Am I using the wrong Google account, because it won't let me use on with a school e-mail address...oh dear.
