NaPoWriMo Day 18 : The Revolution Is Now


Remember that we are the roots
And as humans we aim to live for now, head forward and never ever backwards.
Find a place that eases hurt and forms a laboratory of self reliance
Because people, the revolution is now.

The Revolution is now and it will not wait for you as you write endless poems about how haters be hating,
How you are going to pull out your tongue and spit on them
Boats you do not sail or kites you do not fly.
The truth is an offence and will never be a sin and for that you always have a reason to cry
Trapped in a crowd full of people who think not yet utter tom-foolery.
Because Honey, The Revolution is now

The Revolution will rarely be found In a place the eye does not see.
Or an echo the ear does not hear
It does not give a wits end if you are straight or gay because the difference is narrow.


It does not tolerate the response of a slave and commands of a slave master because its the 21 century and shit like that just don't work no more.
It sits on the side lines and watches you and laughs at you as you metamorphosis into a being you were never meant to be
Because you keep playing it in your mind, time after time on how DREAMS are ILLEGAL in the GHETTO
And how times are just too damn hard for a "NEGRO"

The Revolution is Jr Gong Marley who preaches on how 
Vexation of spirit is a waste of time
Negative thinking, a waste of thoughts
Verbal conflict, a waste of words 


Physical violence, a waste of flesh

The Revolution that was not televised was then,
The Revolution  that had no re-runs was there,
The Revolution that will be live is here,
The Revolution is now.
