Life and Lessons Pt 1

Read the title

 

The new revolution won’t be televised.

 The time is drawing near

My future vision allows me to see the pain in the educated eyes clear

There will come a point where the weak, meek, and scared will realize

For something we must stand,  fight, and eventually die.

Let the real thugs rise.

 

The new revolution won’t be televised

Let one hood at a time organize

Each one must teach one to break these mental chains

That’s the only real way to bring about change

Can’t you see we’re just freed slaves ,

Trapped in this American social and economical cage

Am I the only one to feel this rage?

 

The new revolution won’t be televised.

First lesson we must learn is to start treating our black women like queens and wives

Only from in between their thighs will a new nation arise.

Second lesson is to remove the false misconception of material wealth from our eyes

Because this bling, diamonds on each finger, and cars,  you can’t take with you when you die.

Third and most important lesson to me is to is to place all of your faith in the one true God

He is the only one I know who’s always ready to ride

So along with your hammer keep him by your side

 

The new revolution won’t be televised.

Has yours? Cause I know  that my faith in the government and judicial system  has meet its finial demise.

Republican or Democrat, all those money hungry son of a b*****s tell lies.

So I build my foundation of truth on Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X,  Assata Shakur, and the countless others who saw the light, and was gunned down before their time. 

Because the new revolution won’t be televised.

Well, i am your white bread, but remain dedicated to poetry at least. Yours is good spoken, i tried this, spoke it off the monitor...of course the theme is honest and the thing said is more important than the poem. so... as it comes out of you it is good to hear, that there are voices saying it....i can't... and i live in working class "white" vermont but can listen. So sometimes listening is is as good as speaking. thanks raining

This is just a flawless piece. 20 out of 10. such a profound message, that I think would enlighten us all. It's true, government is corrupt, and I like this part you write:

Amen on that!! i truly believe our society has placed our importance on government, politics, stars, hollywood, fashion, drugs, alcohol, you name it. And they are all finite. if this world, tomorrow, were to fall into the ground would all that remain? no, but God would, our souls would. Thank you for writing this piece and get my mind moving. i appreicate it.

Bravo. And although this is just one part of some greater understanding of self, you have presented an astounding reality. We are the creators and the destroyers of life. Without standiing to create something great we are sitting to let the worst happen. Every woman and man must also realize that we are the molds that shape our youth.

Amazing work Dear Poet. I look forward to the next lesson.

Live, Love and Learn
