POEM PIECE #2

WHERE IS THE REVOLUTION?

I was born into a world

A world with NO REVOLUTION

Where revolution had lost its play

and everyone

...I mean everyone has gone astray

Roaming the earth 365 days 365 nights

searching for gun fights under street lights

because young boy stepped into his rivals heroin territory

...UNINVITED!



We've let go of the revolutions

Battles between black & whites

Over the fact that

Blacks hate the white mentality

More whites acting black

& blacks not getting their portion of the white mans goods

WHERE IS THE REVOLUTION?



Where is the Gyration?

The fight for the boot

the battle for the youth

the struggle for the TRUTH?

where is the revolutionary black campaign that bonds us together forever?

a sweet treat

to make our folks complete

to the greatest self valuable conceit

that can never be buffed

even down in the racist southern heat



Let's repleat our jobs

open up shop

But in a real store...with 4 walls....or maybe 5 if possible

just as long as its not the streets



Open up shop

EDUCATE

MOTIVATE

teach black on black love

black on black respect

for then....NOW...

Seriously, what are we waiting for?



WHERE IS THE REVOLUTION
