 364. Revolutionary
It is elementary
That we should be
Revolutionary!

This country was
Founded on people
Who left
A stifling system
To be and express
Who we were…
Who we are…

We need to be
Those people
Again.

Only there is
No where to
Run and start
Over again…
Save the ocean
And space…
And we have
The resources
For neither.

I'd rather die
A martyr
Than old in
My bed
In a gilded
Cage…
Why can't
Those who are
Serious about
Suicide die
For something
More worthy
Like flying to
Another country
Where they are keeping
Political prisoners
And strap a bomb
To their chest
To deliver the
Message
“Let our people
go!”

Why not make sure
That you sign
That donor card
Before you do it?

Let 9 people live
Before you die?
Isn't that
Revolutionary?

Stand before the tanks
Like in
Tiannaman Square
Stand before brutality
With a camera
And be big brother's
Little brother…

Risk going to jail
For peaceful demonstrations
For what you
Believe in
And believe in
Your friends
To scream and raise
A ruckus for
Your release!

What is happening
Cannot stand
Unless you
Don't take
One.
