Thank you Gabriel, I like those lines as well, i'm glad you stopped by :)

Powerful fist-raising verse!

This is the result of an evening with too many cups of demitasse ;)
Thank you Jim, yes fist raising it is.

anthem for a revolution. let's mount up & ride; I'm in it for the gunji...

Revolutions aint what it used to be, what happened? No one seems to have balls nowadays.
I will gladly share gunji with you John :)

Rina, this is brilliant.. and you hit all the right notes.. of all the things that are wrong in the world.. beautiful write.. into the list it goes!!


Dave

You're the expert writing in these subjects, no doubt about it.
If you liked it, then I did something right, thanks Dave :)

Rina this about says it all. A well composed, honest and scathing social commentary...my favorite bits are:

"thumbing the thesaurus  
for pages of nobility  
to justify actions, sanctions  
shifting responsibility"
and
"...the bones today do not  
possess the marrow    
of yesterday."

GW, recently I had a conversation with a friend, that we are at a point in history that we have no choice but to admit, that we have learned nothing, despite all the tool and information.

I guess to some degree humans have regressed, they don't make them like they used to, in a nutshell.

Thank you for picking out some fav lines, and commenting.

Burn the books  
history, religion and philosophy  
we have learned nothing  
nothing  
the grit and steel  
of men and women  
with iron fists  
courage running incessantly  
thru their veins  
revolution frothing  
from eyes of flames  
un-bowing to tyranny

Amen to this!
Seems you have develloped a new style of writing,Rina, always look forward to reading your work, so much energy and originality, very inspiring!    

Thanks for your wonderful compliment Mourganna.
I'm not sure if we will ever define ourselves with one style, since we are constantly evolving, but i have to attribute the change to couple of editors i befriended during my hiatus couple months ago.  

As always, you are brilliant!
I found myself pumping my fists and snapping my fingers with this one...lol !

Rant writes do not fair well with edits, i tried to leave it as is, written in the moment, with passion for the cause.
Thanks much Lena :)

the old gray mare,ain't what she use to be...

No it aint Mr. Hash, and it doesn't look good either the way it looks for the next generations to come.

an intensely invigorating write that make me want to stand beside you and right the wrongs and the injustices….so love this Vee …and your style that grabs right from the outset !! x

There are many things I feel passionate about and handful of things which i can't resist but strongly fight for it, any chance I get, namely injustice, inequities and unfairness.
Thanks so much JeJe for adding and for rooting for the same cause and feeling.

After the parade of praise, I'm going to be the butthead following up with a mild criticism.

[[[Burn the books  
history, religion and philosophy  
we have learned nothing  
nothing]]]

I think the second [[[nothing]]] falls flat.

Some alternative lines in the same vein would make for a real kick in the balls. I don't want to say what those lines could be, because it is not my place to rewrite another's work.  

I always found some analogy of coming behind the parade as in sitting in the back of the classroom ;)
Thanks Mary for leaving your thoughts, and i agree, that second 'nothing' looks like it needs an exclamation point,  to fix things.
