Notes About The Poem

If you haven't considered the road to revolution then you don't know history.

The Road To Revolution

the road to revolution (no, REALLY)
Do you guys remember your history classes by any chance?
I was browsing through my AP World history class book,
in my not-entirely-wanted, new-found, infinite leisure time when it struck me……

The world is pandemic-ally on fire
our orderly systems haywire.
Trump thinks the problem is ventilators and masks
his senile mind can’t comprehend the needed tasks.
Twelve hundred dollars is that a joke?
The whole healthcare system is broke.
More unemployed than the great depression
when your bank account's empty, it's more than recession.
Problems multiply in non-linear scope:
no jobs, no money, no food, no hope?
If government can’t find real, effective, quick solutions
for its purpose it’s failed - onto revolution!

Maybe this is why my Mom says I shouldn’t watch the news…
