       REVELOUTION’S EVOLUTION

(Apropos Of Today’s Political Dilemma)

              (A Tanka Septet)

Freedom must be won

Oppression beaten and done;

Let’s follow Heron:

Let’s make revolution live;

Defeating oppression’s jive:-

Come revolution,

Heal syndrome’s devolution;

Curing delusion:

It’s time for revolution;

Let’s get to liberation:-

We’ve survived much worse

Of the oppressor’s dam curse;

Now’s too, we will burst:

Liberation’s spring is here;

We’ll be fighting without fear:-

Now, it's your folk’s call,

To deal with that choice by y’all;

Least all their hopes fall:- 

Now you must learn from us all,

How to make opposition fall:-

We must get through this,

Can’t lose hope or be remiss;

Chains, we must resist:-

This Cold War too, must be done;

Liberty fought for and won:-

Fighting years ahead,

Election chains must be shed;

Let’s put fear to bed:-

Let’s fight for democracy

And our equanimity:-
