When Revolution Comes


When revolution comes the establishment is never prepared. Usually they respond with violence to attempt to suppress the masses. This has happened in Iran, Syria, Libya, and now in the United States.

Since this is the largest democracy in the world, we are compelled to allow civil discourse to take hold. The politician are confused by this especially the Republicans.

Yes they embraced the Tea Party but only because it fit their constitutional agenda. But this grass root movement by occupy wall street is different, It stands for the 99 percent of Americans that are affected by the poor policies of government and big business alike.

The problem is that we bailed out the large corporations and allowed them to bounce back while we continue to plummet into a repressive situation when it comes to jobs in this country.

The Republicans continue to protect the rich and kill the middle class spirits while knowingly understanding the root of our pain.

Occupy America should be the battle cry in order to bring us back to the true values this country states it stands for. So when revolution come make sure you're ready.

Godless



He could not navigate between anger and insanity
Eyes enraged like a rabbit animal
He runs with a pack this day
Embolden by his support by crazies
He sees her and beats her on the street
As if she was never a part of his memory
As if he never loved her
He allow his friend to beat and stomp her
As he watched her cry as he watched her die
Did he look into her eyes and realized her pain?
As she closed her eyes for the last time
What was her crime aside that she angered him?
Left in the street discarded and battered
No one intervened as if it did not mattered that
A mother, a woman, some ones child
Existence was erased by a crazy, angered man
Who chose to be Godless.
