Germinal: the Revolt At Le Voreux Mine
Their  portraits hanging firmly
from the naked wall, all our goods
pawned for the cause.
To see our vision and strike through
Our lively evenings and peaceful nights
conquered by a full moon and hunger pains.
The speak easy is dead from receiving our
wages in small francs, our children weak...

Not quite awake yet, need a big jolt
To get me going like a lightning bolt
Some astounding news
The world has reviewed
Instead of wars and killings we'll have a love revolt

Nature’s Revolt

  
It was a day of woe 
As we stared and uttered wails 
When we beheld an awesome sight
Of priceless loss
It was a universal eve
When the world was sparkling the sky
With thundering shouts of joy
To greet the arrival of a saint 
Who staked...

Youth Revolt At the Renegade Square
We are eager and much willing 
To find progress in forgiving! 
Long as we the future living 
Reap the fruit of our own digging!  

Stop the bloodshed and the killing
Heed the call and hear the feelings
Do not ignore or practice grinning
We are relentless in our...

The Revolt of Romance and the Returned Remedy
We tore out this hell and sank this English ship
We rafted a life till the Americas ran us dry
A sandy engagement, laughter, our world to tip
Our beats, our waves to sounds ugliest cry
In plunged your thunder to our words your stip
To have us quiet, browbeat,...

Revolt in a see of blood oh mourner and cast your voice away, the regime will shoot at you

Women Revolt
Weaker sex we’re known and termed,
We are made idle like lexis
Without structure to construct sentences.

They treat us as infants for we’re fragile;
To rear offspring we’re considered fertile
’Tis then we would be teased as agile.

Stop creating professionalism based on agile from fragile, 
We’re gifted as you...

Mosquito Revolt
No, no, no, no — We will not endure these tortures
Of the ferocious Human beings on us, not any more.
We, Mosquitoes, are the best amongst all creatures
Who remain not idle, accept whatsoever we procure.

The Humans, inhumanly, label us to be the basest
Of creatures and formulate...

Premium Member Regenetic Revolt
CoArise each remembered
and imagined moment.

CoArise each bilateral inhaled
and exhaled breath.

CoArise each bicamerally conscious heart's light
and dark desire.

CoArise each win/lose work
and win/win play agenda.

CoArise each transactional commission 
and transparent omission.

CoArise each binomial relationship 
of positive value 
with negative disvalue.

CoArise each eco-nomial 
binomial.

CoArise each language comforting meme,
each...

The Oddball Relative Holiday Revolt
What about this year,
where will I go
I'm not like them
They're just for show!

I'm losing heart
I used to care,
they never write
or call, or share!

The persons that I love the most
are far too busy to play host
it just goes on ~ year after year,
they're doing well, while...

Revolt of the Black Sheep
In a sea of white lives one stone of black.
I'm not like the others,by color or my acts.
Many seem to run and others seem to crawl.
But I prefer to walk until I fall.
My heart is slowly churning inside a white abyss.
Why do all the other...

Tangled In the Wrench of a Beast
Tangled In The Wrench Of A Beast 

Smothered in dismay and
 throb 
My shrill pleas apexd, but was yet, unheard
Whilst latched beneath this fierce demon  
Whose gaze was as dreadful as his soul

My tide of revolt to be free ended 
With the echoes of...
