How Revolutions Are Born

 
Painted graffiti
Unlawful expressions
Against the establishment
Jokes to some
Insurrection to others

They touch a nerve
Are the pulse of unrest
Something that can’t be silenced
Growing like a cancer
The spray can the new sword

Those in power fear truth
Especially the truth of an artist’s hands
It breaks down barriers
Taunts the hierarchy
Inspires the masses

When freedom is sleeping
Those images on walls
Wake the enquiring mind
To question everything being fed
It’s how revolutions are born
