Revolution Is Another Poem

Revolution is another poem

I have grasped the coal
In Parliament and elsewhere
To show my support
For our energy
Or has it grasped me?

Millenia mature unlike them
To make this source
Oh god we bow before you
As you light our life literally
But without words
So unspoken
On your trajectory

By use to destroy us all
Like Satan before the fall
Angelic until we see your face
The devil reborn in all your glory
Gory, that is our path
As we gasp our last
While our sun shines free
Unlike us, caught in profit, profit and more profit
Putting people last
We cannot survive
Unless …

But revolution is another poem
Unwritten and alone
Until …
Until we rise, together,
And breathe again
And their profit system
Dies with them
By our hand
Together and forever
