This Revolution will not be televised

Been there and back
from the cruelty of various cultures
mocking a different stride of life—

color, accent, hairstyle, nationality—
dining on the doubt and insecurity  
of a vulnerable crowd

—wore that mantle for years
almost believed what they said. . .
until realization hatched

Fastforward:  

Now, I eat bullies for breakfast—
feed gossip mongers to pigeons;
machete paths with their razor tongues
to reveal jungles of doubt and insecurity
they attempted to camouflage

all with one thing—
                         action over words;

let me say that again—                        
                         action over words;  

Because this revolution is a lifestyle
not a statement of poem to protest  
nor act of retribution to be broadcast—
 
It’s called happiness—
the most powerful weapon  
of Love you possess—

guaranteed to kill an enemy  
quicker than anything else
