A Revolution In Progress

Revolution is a long word that no one should use lightly A revolution does not take place too often or daily In 1804, Haiti, formerly the Pearl of the Antilles Had a major revolution, which was a turning point In the history of humanity and the entire universe An independent country was born under gunpoint So to speak, where African slaves beheaded the trees Of slavery, to win their freedom and liberty manu militari The brave slaves had to fight. In 2024, we must be well versed In my opinion, any subsequent uprising is a movement To change, improve and refresh a conceivable moment A revolution does not happen randomly, on a daily basis Unity can be a force to solidify current political situations But if the big fish eat and swallow the dwarf pygmy gobies And the whitebaits nonstop, something has to be done in the oceans The story of David and Goliath needs to be told. Miracles take place Sometimes when we least expect it. Aftershocks are smaller quakes Those possess the same power to destroy. Virginity is lost once, not twice Successive revolutions are not possible, but the people have the rights To seek a better life, to demand justice, and to fight to overcome injustice Misery and poverty. A revolution is the first step towards stability and peace Revolution is a word that freedom seekers or fighters must not use carelessly A revolution changes abruptly and decisively the unbalanced course of history Furthermore, a coup d’état or a coup de force is not the same as a revolution A coup is simply a minute piece of the puzzle, a small part of an enduring solution Breaking the egg and returning it to its original form is an impossible task We can all simper and continue to wear the controversial and sardonic mask.
