Saul Williams Pledge Of Resistance


We believe that as people living
in the United States it is our
responsibility to resist the injustices
done by our government,
in our names


Not in our name
will you wage endless war
there can be no more deaths
no more transfusions
of blood for oil


Not in our name
will you invade countries
bomb civilians, kill more children
letting history take its course
over the graves of the nameless


Not in our name
will you erode the very freedoms
you have claimed to fight for


Not by our hands
will we supply weapons and funding
for the annihilation of families
on foreign soil


Not by our mouths
will we let fear silence us


Not by our hearts
will we allow whole peoples
or countries to be deemed evil


Not by our will
and Not in our name


We pledge resistance


We pledge alliance with those
who have come under attack
for voicing opposition to the war
or for their religion or ethnicity


We pledge to make common cause
with the people of the world
to bring about justice,
freedom and peace


Another world is possible
and we pledge to make it real.
