Poem
You say you want a revolution? Just what would that do to our evolution? Bring change and revelation, what type of a solution to the foolishness we embrace and true reality ignored pollution? Take our guns away and the right to bear arms, settle scores while sending foot soldiers, boots on the ground fighting someone's wars. Build satellites, drones, bombs and smartphones to do the dirty work stealing lives of innocence while terrorists survive to hide and lurk. Protect those who have something to supply like diamonds, gold, oil while people of a nation slowly die in poverty, starvation and diseased spoils. Set up funded foundations controlled and contrived by the rich placated and keep the monies donated for the poor and devastated. Watch gamers play foolhardy glints of survival hunts and war-craft never once recognizing the reality exists in the real world daft. See your children on the tablets and i-phones texting unawares of human contact. communication, love and touch vexed. Hide from the gangs and random shootings on the street bury the innocence stolen from our living free each day fleet. History rewrites the story every decade, every century, every day and we the people - seek change, compassion, love and understanding ways. Peace - never lasts for we are a warring people restless, unsatisfied, looking for something in the eye of the needle. You say you want a revolution? It's already here, wanting absolution. How did it start? How will it end? It is the darkness in the human story from the very beginning of time. Paint it black written in blood and tears forever flowing in the climb.
