You Say You Want a Revolution?

Revolt! Demand more —
Knowledge, justice, compassion —
Less hate. Less fear. MORE.

Fantasy unlived?
Courage to thirst, lust for
Life’s unbridled joys.

A Revolution
Takes drive, determination —
Sleep only in Death.

A fire retarded
Rekindles, ignites — a blaze!
Ideas cannot die.

Banned books! Celebrate —
Devour dangerous words,
A meal to savor.

Worlds crumble slowly,
But not the words they’re built on.
Unbreakable words.

Their power denied
At Power’s peril. Folly!
Ideas incarnate —

No mysteries here. Words:
November’s Revolution
Finds front-line soldiers.
