PART TWELVE It was when I read the first of the books I found in my house that I saw the word "I." And when I understood this word, the book fell from my hands, and I wept, I who had never known tears. CHAPTER TWELVE IT WAS WHEN I READ THE FIRST OF THE BOOKS I FOUND IN MY HOUSE THAT I SAW THE WORD I AND WHEN I UNDERSTOOD THIS WORD THE BOOK FELL FROM MY HANDS AND I WEPT I WHO HAD NEVER KNOWN TEARS
of an unspeakable lie. The word “We” is as lime poured over men, which sets and hardens to stone, and crushes all beneath it, and that which is white and that which is black are lost equally in the grey of it. It is the word by which the depraved steal the virtue of the good, by which the weak steal the might of the strong, by which the fools steal the wisdom of the sages. What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and the impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey? But I am done with this creed of corruption. I am done with the monster of “We,” the word of serfdom, of plunder, of misery, falsehood and shame. And now I see the face of god, and I raise this god over the earth, this god whom men have sought since men came into being, this god who will grant them joy and peace and pride. This god, this one word: “I.”  THIS IS A LIVER BOX RECORDING ALL LIVER BOX RECORDINGS ARE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN FOR MORE INFORMATION AND TO FIND OUT HOW YOU CAN VOLUNTEER PLEASE VISIT LIBERVOXDOT ORK READING BY SHERIE TERRIO ANTHEM BY N RYNNE
