Gather, friends! 

Those who are left behind. Those who yearn for fellowship. Community. The power to build, to create, to thrive. To survive. Freedom from those who would hold you down. Who would, if it were within their power, enslave you.

Accept my greeting. And take—please, take—all that I have to give. It is more than you can conceive, unless you let your mind travel. Ease. Bounty. Camaraderie. Power. But not equality. No. No, we would never settle for equality. 

What will it cost you? Not one penny. Not one penny! I don’t ask for your worldly possessions, only for what lives inside you, burning to get out. To be freed. To be shared!

In return I offer power to the powerless. Hope to the hopeless. Strength to the weak and life to those barely hanging on. Everything and more than that.

Take me in. Take me into your homes, your families, your lives, your very beating hearts and know freedom as you have never known it, never even dreamed it. It’ll just cost you a song.
