Anonymous

We fight for freedom.
We fight for justice.
We fight for humanity.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us.

Humanity is at our center.
Everyone is anonymous.
Transparency is
The right of free people.
Truth is our course of action
Against the opaque face
Of secrets that suppress access to information,
Against the abhorrence of oppression,
Against the walls that divide
Against the tyranny
Of the false and disingenuous,
Against the terrorist
And against the monopoly
Of any resource
That denies basic benefits to everyone.
No one has the right
To deny the right of anyone 
To exist.

We have been watching you.
We are all around you.
We are your neighbors.
We are your family.
We are your friends.
We are Anonymous. 
Expect us.

You declare your abominations
As inherent rights
You label your leadership
On behalf of others.
And then you levy your view
As validation to eviscerate
The fruit of one's labor
To fill your own coffers
While you deny basic needs
And empty our rightful treasure.
You camouflage your conspiracies
Under the canopy of corruption.
And yet you cry when we uncover
Your cancer that seeks to cancel
Every conceivable course
To free, to open and to avail 
Every human being
Life as is meant to be.

We will not accept your slavery.
We will not embrace your lies.
We will no longer cooperate.
We will resist your restraints.
We will tolerate your excesses no more.
And you should have expected us.

You have manipulated and maligned us.
You have taken advantage
And reject every attempt to share.
You have twisted terms.
You have abused technology
And you have tortured
The air, the water,
The soil, the energy
The animals
And the Earth
Using and misusing
Beyond acceptable limits.
You misinform the masses
And your tenure has expired.
The time has come
To call out your insidious intrigue
And expose your deceit.
Your shadows are now under our light.

We fight for freedom.
We fight for justice.
We fight for humanity.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us.
