The Skateboarding Revolution
Once upon a time, the world was ruled by a Corporate Beast that stole the forests away from the children, and imprisoned The People in blockades of cement. Their parents, enslaved by the Beast, and drudging the day away with tasks they found tedious and lame just to hang on to their place of residence, hardly noticed the destruction of a once Fair Land. With no place to play, & hence, no place to grow, the children became angry and frustrated. The parents did not have time to understand why, they were too busy slaving away for the Beast, for they had to feed their disenchanted siblings. Many parents were so busy chasing after trinkets in order to serve the Beast or gain the Beast's approval, they hardly had a moment to get to know their children. The music tried to warn the parents, but alas, they could not listen, for the Beast had turned their minds around with flashy images and monotone voices. Soon the children began lashing out at their prison walls with spray paint and vandalism and fighting amongst gangs of other children. Then, as if by Virtue, the children invented skateboarding, and they found a way to turn the concrete prison back into a playground.
But alas -- OH, BE AWARE! For the Beast is always hungry...
