The revolution was not televised

Your father took off the tv knobs when you got in trouble at school

The revolution will not be televised

It will be hashed and tagged to death on Twitter

It will be connected, without those lost in a virtual reality of deceit

It will be charged, by those who forgot their iPhone universal cord

When fighting gerrymander laws

It will dissolve old body cells in bath water

It will puncture worn lumbar nerves

It will fracture bones made with calcium

It will educate, those beginning to understand, who have been on autopilot and unconscious

It will enlighten, those on the ground, in the courts

It will inspire, your forefathers and grandmothers and aunties

Then, it will bubble to the surface, spilling over the lips of your chemical beaker

Exploding to the sky

Falling to the soil

Freshening the air
