Uzun süren bir writers block'tan sonra bir şiirim:
We are here to undo
What has been done
God bless our comrades
Who was gone
The last, lost step of the stair
We are the judges who decide
What is fair
We are here to establish that step
The last step of the stair
Called evolution
A radical, certain revolution
O, the comrades with all their might
Fight for their right
From the day to the night
O, the comrades strike
With their pens and their paper
Which is -as their soul- white
From dictators only a weak soul fears
Taste like fear, your tears
Our cries you will hear
As "Civilan Disobedience"

Dolaşırkene Civilian Disobedience kavramı üzerine alıntılarla karşılaştım ve yeni bir başlık yerine burada devam ettirmeyi uygun gördüm; Türkçeleri yok çevirmeye üşeniyorum kusuruma bakmayın:
If... the machine of government... is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law. ~Henry David Thoreau, On the Duty of Civil Disobediance, 1849
Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it. ~Albert Einstein
It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong. ~Voltaire
You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is
wrong, no matter who says it. ~Malcolm X
Integrity has no need of rules. ~Albert Camus
If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable. ~Louis D. Brandeis
Every actual state is corrupt. Good men must not obey laws too well. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
We should never forget that everything Adolf Hitler did in Germany was "legal" and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was "illegal." ~Martin Luther King, Jr
I think that we should be men first, and subjects afterward. It is not so desirable to cultivate
a respect for the law, so much as for the right. ~Henry David Thoreau,
Ordinarily, a person leaving a courtroom with a conviction behind him would wear a somber face. But I left with a smile. I knew that I was a convicted criminal, but I was proud of my crime. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
