The Revolution Will Not Be Televised!A Poem by wuliheronGil Scot Heron tribute.The Revolution Will Not Be Televised!
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& #This revolution is live baby!# #Welcome to the comedy club!# #That dares not close any doors!# #For fear they'll be, broken down!# #Ripped right off, all of the hinges!# #Some clowns, being hard to please!# #Some clowns being very demanding!# @#Some Clowns Won’t Take No For An Answer!#@ *Open to Our Public, twenty-four seven!* *Clowns frequently impossible to please!* *Nevertheless we aim to please Zombies!* *The impossible just takes us a lot longer!* *Rarely closing, for pressing emergencies!* *Rarely closing, for any of the holier days!* *Some acts being, exactly what they seem!* *Some acts catch anyone alive by surprise!* *Some, might, become highly entertaining!* *Whilst others you would be wise to avoid!* *Other acts, not being for the faint of heart!* *Other acts might be extremely dangerous!* *Other acts clowns take their chances with!* *Where at times, Righteous Riots break out!* *Where at times many Zombies Go Berserk!* *Where at times Zombies are all full of crap!* *When on occasion Zombie S**t hits the fan!* *When clowns insist, on constantly fighting!* *When, some clowns, always look for fights!* *When, some clowns, fight over stupid crap!* *When they all argue over who’s the biggest!* *Fighting over who is the biggest idiot of all!* *Often unaware of who they are fighting for!* *Often unaware, the fighting is meaningless!* *Sometimes fighting, over complete bullshit!* *Sometimes, they are in the mood for a fight!* *Sometimes, shooting themselves in the foot!* *Prepared to blame others, for any problems!* *None even being taught how to Just Say No!* *None even learning what it means to be free!* *That bereft honesty the word is meaningless!* *Some couldn’t care less, whatever the reason!* *Some just enjoy fighting, for whatever reason!* *Many, are young and full of piss, and vinegar!* *Foolishly condescending to all fall on their a*s!* *Thinking it makes them all that much stronger!* *Afraid to surrender, any dirt beneath their feet!* *Afraid to back down a single inch, on anything!* *Afraid of losing the ground everything rests on!* *Afraid of appearing weak instead of just stupid!* *Afraid of slaying the beasts of their nightmares!* *Ingloriously unaware of the approaching floor!* *Because fact can be stranger, than any fiction!* *Because reality, is often funnier than fiction!* *And it twinkles a hell of a lot more as well!* *Catching any clown yet alive by surprise!* *Making some do a double or triple take!* *Sometimes with their pants still down!* *Only to have Mama Nature spank us!* *~***Twinkle**~**Twinkle***~* *~*All you beautiful shooting stars*~* In your sparkling Wonderland! Falling adorably, upon your a*s! Do not expect, your own mother! To clean up after, all your messes! Viva La Revolution Baby! No radical revolutionary promise! No, conservative State Secrets crap! No swearing you're telling the truth! No swearing, it was only an accident! No swearing, that you have witnesses. No swearing you'll make some amends. No swearing your scout's word of honor! Nor swearing upon the tall stack of Bibles! No attempts to avoid the subject altogether! Nor pleas from your friends backing you up! Nor swearing upon your own mother's grave! Nor swearing that the dog ate your homework! No swearing it wasn't nearly as bad as it sounds. Nor insisting that it will never ever happen again! Nor melodramatic sobbing, begging, and pleading! Will ever manage to avoid Mama’s own house rules! Will ever manage to escape, her ruthless enforcement! While, Hell hath no fury like our Mama Nature scorned! Balance will always be restored whenever harmony is lost! (Gil Scott Heron)
