The Revolution Will Not Be Recognized
The revolution will not be recognized, brothers
The revolution will not be named
The revolution will not be
waiting around for the cavalry
The revolution is tripping face at a psytrance party
and is too busy spinning, to prepare a speech.
It is being passed around in the park and it is a heady high.
The revolution is in its' comfy clothes
in the streets of Spain, putting epoxy in cash machines.
It is in the poppy fields of Afghanistan playing video games.
The revolution goes to protests to pick up chicks
and picks up litter. It is on the frontline of the war on food
and is making bombs out of organic vegetables.
The revolution is making an ass of itself at the bar
and will do yoga in the morning.
I am the change I wish to see
and the problem
The revolution is manic depressant
and sold all its' meds
The revolution will not be recognized, brothers
The revolution can not be named
The revolution will not be named
The revolution will not be

Images of G S-H aside; this speaks to the fact a period hasn't closed our sentence. This parroted-graph is full(ish) of meaning.
In this piece each word adds & proves there's still more time to serve.
Felt. Excellent drop LB

thank you kindly kriticool, for reading and leaving your thoughts.
I was pondering about that GSH poem, and realized that (to me) the revolution he talked about was televised, was commidified to the point of novelty. I was trying to describe something that couldn't even be named let alone become novelty.
note* as kriticool points out, this write does heavily react to Gil Scott-Heron's poem, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised"...I suppose I should mention that just in case it isn't as obvious as I might have thought

hmm, a worthy question to ponder...though if I were to eat another person I would do it off the bone, caveman style, seems par for the course
thank you ES

Awesome work, LB, with lines like "The revolution goes to protests to pick up chicks," and "The revolution is making an ass of itself at the bar" so true. Was this at all inspired by Gil-Scott Heron's "The revolution will not be televised?" Seems like it would be a worthy companion piece. Write on, brother !
thank alot Tony!
no, not completely. I had the idea fartin around for a while, but it was way too abstract. I thought about the GSH poem, and switching "televised" to "recognized" made it come into focus for me right away
preciate the comment man
edit, just realized the nature of your question...and yes, it was def a reaction to that poem
