The square is a legend that would fall if the families of martyrs stopped to believe in it.

The dream is the alternative to the regime, if we let go of it for realistic, rational and committed debates that follow the right order of priorities, it would perish.

If the legend falls and the dream perishes, the collective will break up. Destiny wouldn’t respond if the collective breaks up. What we know of God is that he is with the collective.

Leave the experts behind and listen to the poets, for we are in a revolution. Let go of the mind and hold onto the dream, for we are in a revolution. Beware of caution and embrace the unknown, for we are in a revolution. Celebrate the martyrs, for amidst ideas, symbols, stories, spectacles and dreams, nothing is real but their blood and nothing is guaranteed but their eternity.
