Insurrection Is My Raging WAter

Insurrection Is My Raging WAter

A Poem by Scott Lee

 
I can hear it in the streets;
 
violent cannons putting holes in my ship
 
extremist young men wearing all black pants and shirts in August
 
103 degrees out, making fashion statements on heat-wave sidewalks
 
their eyes have enough rage in them to burn down Government branches.
 
 Global warming hearts spreading tornadoes everywhere you look.
 
I could head butt aspens in moonlight to get my point across to you, but you will never understand
 
what you've taken from us.
 
How about truth    How about freedom        How about Justice
 
Blue sharks circle grids left and right
 
Where do I live?
 
In cop-town.
 
hunting people
 
They throw you in Fire.
 
When you get out
 
Fury is a thrash metal band playing rigorously on high rooftops
 
fans mosh on dagerous edges, fearless of death
 
craving coffins just for a way to escape tyranny.
 
 Insurrection is my raging water
 
I could break bottles in the street      in hopes for you to listen
 
disobey    irate      jaded     intoxicated rebellion
 
this is your outlet:         Instigate an uprising
 
Perform 38 years of what your veins  have been feeling        THRASHING POUNDING  MUSIC
 
burn down every injust building you see       banks   courts  SUPER WAL MARTS  etc...
 
hold back infernos while walking to probation
 
MINOR THREAT blasting in your ears
 
RAW Vengeance is a Mad River
 
and every lie they utter puts another drop into it
 
Insurrection is my Raging Water
 
but there's poetry in her expression bouncing stars from off the Milky Way
 
You will not throw my passion back into pitfall,
 
even if you do it will find a way to climb back from disaster
 
my passion will crawl through mud and blood
 
find shelter beneath a conifer
 
listen for rising intuition     hear and see poignant reflections
 
fluttering across the grasses       skimming above green jello waters
 
hungry for major changes      Can we bring back the lost continent of Reason?
 
One day      
 
I will perch on higher range perceptions
 
find a way to broadcast it all From THE MASTER
 
Piercing  Screaming   BLASTING
 
Everyone awake and dancing
 
and I will pick up war torn journals
 
to write from wild places
 
my passion being stabbed and dragged down the street
 
my passion   torn to shreds by World Violence
 
thrown into fires and pitfalls
 
but ink and insurrection will be my Raging water
 
paper my crucified Messiah
 
You can find me sitting on a grassy hill    haunted by her expressions  bouncing stars from off the MILKY WAY.
 
    You  will find me beneath vast blue   scribbling and reaching for something sacred
 
a small piece of Jade within me   not yet casted to MAD RIVERS
 
a large piece of my passion  glowing red forest coals to the cold side of your soul
 
gather round hot black clothed extremists
 
 gather round angry screaming eyes begging for a taste of Justice
 
I have something to say to you
 
For, I too, have known your crosses
 
Insurrection is our Raging Water
 
only together can we break these walls
 
 only together can we instigate bright changes
 
One Day our passion may join together;
 
STRONG will it be from being hung on so many CROSSES
 
Our eyes will shoot nails of red hot truth at them and OH BROTHER
 
How they will fall ONE BY ONE    and
 
afterwards may we stand on a NEW CONTINENT OF REASON   and
 
afterwards may we dance by CALM CALM WATERS
 
smiling at the victory of JUSTICE........
