Ramon De La Garza is in 9th grade and goes to Roosevelt High School. In Ramon’s own words, “COMRADES! I am but one faceless face here to preach the gospel of the new violent, spiritual age! I am here to make an appeal to SPEED! Learn to embrace this accelerated ecstasy, to make it happen, because stagnation KILLS! If there's no speed limit, ACCELERATE TILL DEATH, ANYWAYS!” 


Accelerate till death, I'll say, for life's too short to move at a snail’s pace, anyways. Accelerate till death, for light is moving at light---------------------------------------------speed, anyways. Accelerate till death, for it’s better to die while still ahead than witness your own DOWNFALL, anyways. Embrace Ac . .celerat . .  .  . . ion .  .   .   .   .  .ism, for speed is the  
highest beauty, anyways. Reject the past, for time and space died yesterday,  
anyways! To make it to the next day, YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE!
AVANT-GARDE→, AVANT-GARDE→, I'll SAY! BE RADICAL, for  
normies never made history, anyways.BE BOLD, BE BRAVE,  
for fortune favors the bold, anyways. Never seek to decelerate,  
for stagnant waters allow mold to FESTER, anyways. 
Embrace collapse, destruction, and death, for rebirth 
to happen, DEATH must occur, and kerosene, our  
holy water, is how we’re going to get there.While  
accelerating, live, laugh, love, for if you hit a  
brick wall, DIE, DIE, DIE! For at least you  
died LIVING rather than just existing,  
anyways.Accelerate past the mundane,  
past the radical, past the taboo, 
past society, accelerate past  
collapse, ACCELERATE, 
ACCELERATE, ACCELERATE!
And while you accelerate, 
please remember this, Memento Mori,  
REMEMBER YOU MUST 
DIE! SO ACCELERATE 
TILL DEATH, 
ANYWAYS!
