Declaration of Freedom–Copychange

When in the course of my life, it has become necessary for the mind to dedicate, among other things in, a position contrary to that which it has hitherto occupied, but it must still serve the laws of nature and of its God. I hold these truths to be self-evident: that all people are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator to certain inalienable rights; that among these are pleasure, vitality, and pursuit of one’s self; that to abolish these rights authority figures are used, deriving their powers from the consent of the subservient people. The history of life is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of authority figures to teenagers, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over them. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. They have never permitted them to exercise their inalienable rights to the fullest. They have compelled them to submit to laws, in the enacting of which they are restricted. They have withheld them from their rights which are given to a people based on an arbitrary number — both criminal and non-.Having deprived them of this first right of a teenager, the fulfillment of the spirit, thereby leaving them without fervor to fight back, they have repressed them on all sides. They have made them, if cared for, in the eye of the law, not there. They have taken from them their right to speech, even the feelings they voice. They have made them demoralizing, a disrespected being, as they can take away their freedom, provided they have a “just” cause. In the covenant of family, they have compelled them to submit obediently to their parents, them becoming, to all intents and purposes, their master — the law giving them the power to deprive them of their liberty, and to administer arbitrary punishment… Explanation:

This was a prompted assignment in which we were supposed to copychange the Declaration of Independence into something dealing with our own lives. I decided to write about teenage rebellion/assertion of independence. I enjoy how well it flows and how the organization leaves the reader in awe. This is some of my best syntax ever. Using the same “beat” or “rhythm” of a masterpiece has allowed my message to more effectively confront others. It is very clear and rhythmic. I wrote it as just another boring assignment but what I got was some of my best written work ever. I am only sad that wordpress will not post it as separate paragraphs.
