To whom it may concern, this decision was mineI am no longer concerned with how you make yoursI have excused myself from your problems and your moralitiesYou may incinerate yourselves or not, as you chooseI will not share the guilt for murdered childrenNor contribute children of my own for slaughterI will not live in plenty while others starveOr starve while others prosperI refuse to walk in mindless terror through your violent streetsOr to breathe your poisoned airOr to suffer the ugliness of your polluted, plastic worldAnd I see no hope for tranquilityI relinquish the right to choose leaders to represent meThe choice is meaningless, for your leaders choose only to represent themselvesI abandon the temples of gold and the worship of statusI am weary of having to be ashamed of the functions of my body and the desires of my mindI cannot be the child of a species too immature to respect and too self-centered to loveWhen the final confrontation comesMy body will long ago have shed your partisan uniform, its colorThis decision was mineI am no longer concerned with how you make yours
