BILLY - THE REVOLUTIONIST!

I feel like a revolutionist today, folks!
Armed & ready to fight prejudice -
With my words!

I had a dose of it last night.
Was told I was not welcome at a certain wine bar,
Situated here, near where I live.
Was told to watch my back -
Just because I'm English!
I only went along for the Karaoke...

Unfortunately,
The guy never saw the person behind the mask -
Never gave him a chance!


After all, I could've been the English guy,
Who fought to save his daughter's life,
The surgeon; instead, fighting discrimination.

SO NOW... NOW
I want to bring poetry to the masses here,
Where my words can ring loud and true.
Mind you -
It could be a tall order,
This establishment not lending itself well,
To such sophistication on a quiet Wednesday night!

Revolutionists usually die a painful ugly death, don't they?
For someone still frightened of his own shadow -
I have a long way to go.

You may call me THE REVOLUTIONIST...
If you wish.

(272)Venturing out on the town alone at night, unfortunately, makes me a natural target... so does being English!
