Talking About a Revolution *(edited)

Change must come for the betterment of all creation. No more talk.

Talking about a Revolution

People are so tired of the same old shit

Pretending to be okay when they know they are sick

Running from things that do not make sense

Leaving home looking for better, not a pretense

Running from hell straight back into hell

Where were you going to go when hell is in yourself?

Where are you going to find peace? where did it go?

Few know it does not exist anymore

Seeking it in the living room in the kitchen on the bed

Peace will not be found here not even in your head

Is Peace a condition only found in the mind?

I seek peace everywhere I go, all the time

Some things must be given up somethings must change

I am talking about a revolution a total change of game

Wolves and vultures in men’s clothing laughing and walking

Playing dangerously with others’ lives, yes group stalking

Sleepless nights radiation-directed-weapons filled days

What if they were the ones getting hit with those deadly rays?

No one cares no one hears no one seems to know

Many turn their backs and say “I gotta go”

Then go on with their lives pretending all is well

While many living alone are experiencing hell

A revolution is what we need right now

To continue in this dystopic gloom-fest, I cannot see how

Going along with their families to commit these sins

Neighbors, relatives, loved ones, and friends

All of them are victims or part of the deceit

Persons dumb, soddish, inept, foolish, incomplete

It is not peaceful it is not even fair

People should be safe in their homes and anywhere

But more so in their places of residence

Especially when the hounds of hell’s intent make no sense

People say “don’t talk about them you talk too loud”

“They’re going to hear you then freedom will never be allowed”

F word them f word them f word them to death

I speak for all of us suffering this shit — not just myself

* “I for one believe that if you give people a thorough understanding of what confronts them and the basic causes that produce it, they’ll create their own program, and when the people create a program, you get action.” ~Malcolm X

Souls that will do anything for a dollar

Torturing, killing only to hear them holler

For help but there seems to be no help found

A revolution would shut all this shit down

Where are our heroes, our mighty and wise Brothers?

When will you stop accusing and cussing out each other?

We need your help we need your leadership urgently!

Put in the work, build a nation of your people quiet and quickly.

We, women, are holding our own and we have done it alone

We do not blame you for not being here it was planned all along

For you, our leaders to be hunted, brainwashed, and killed

To remove your manhood, strength, and your power of will

We have no protection our own people are on the prowl

For the oppressor, they are working hour after hour

I know a change is going on, yes, it is on its way

We should start to prepare now by uniting today

Change is coming, change is coming I feel it in the wind

Change is coming soon my people we must unite again

They made laws to protect all nations but none to protect us

I keep calling our unity and be ourselves that we trust

Change is coming! Change is coming… it is inevitable.

We have no time to wait for misinformed formidables

Stop being your own enemy we have already had enough

It is real it’s hard out here it’s tough, I know it is truly rough

Until we turn to brotherhood get right among ourselves

No solutions will magically appear, and you are not by yourself

Read study research discover expose the truth of who you are

Unless we address immediately what we have been mildly subpar

It is okay to know who you are, the other nations already know

Been hiding our truth from us and hating us wherever we go

You see what I see stop pretending you do not know or forgot

Change is coming whether you are ready for it or not

I am not against any other nation I just want my people free

No more evil lying destructive ones no more serving the enemy

* “We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” ~ Dr, Martin Luther King, Jr.

Young people wake up and brother especially you must rise

You are the ones who are responsible to get us on each other’s sides

There are enough of you to come together, get out of your own way

Listen to each other you all have something useful, and valuable to say

I seek change, I want to witness a land secure, serene, and free

Where our own men rule the land equitably and righteously

I want to see this change; I really want to see it before I die

But if I do not, I will keep on trying to wake my people. Why?

Like King and Malcolm and other visionaries,

freedom’s vision does not lie

I will continue to try to wake my people

until the day I die.

* “You don’t have to be a man to fight for freedom. All you have to do is to be an intelligent human being.” ~Malcolm X
