Another Poem About Revolution



Remember the lines on the song by Bruce Hornsby it goes like this'Hey little boy, you can't go where the others go
'Cause you don't look like they do'
Said, 'Hey old man, how can you stand
To think that way?
Did you really think about it
Before you made the rules? '

Who made the rules? So many revolution songs like Public enemies‘Fight the power' Songs have been used to unite people. Harriet Tubman and other slaves used songs as a strategy to communicate with slaves in their struggle for freedom. They used Coded songs contained words giving directions on how to escape also known as signal songs or where to meet known as map songs.

Time after time, songs have inspired us to rise. But look at the negative connotations used against us, the negative use of language, he/she got some chip on their shoulder. Protesters get called 'anarchists'
Is it anarchy to despise hierarchy

We see a glazed look on the people begging on the street, they don't expect more than a penny
The same glazed look on the super rich, untouchables, they don't expect anything less than luxury.
Don't expect this poem to rhythm, it is full of acid, to help remove the cataracts from your eyes
Be ‘woke'. Don't blindly believe that this is the way it is, and things will never change, don't believe the lies

No you don't believe it!
