National Poetry Writing Month Poem 3. Revolutionary's Song

Revolutionary's Song

I want to start a revolution
but I don't know anything
about marching in time
with the rhythm and blues
or a turncoat's shoes.
A planned rebellion
is giving into envy
is highly charged
is written in the stars
is fatally flawed.
We look for a solution
we have the same cause
we want a fairer world
But who's telling the truth?
The left wing brigade.
Or the right wing fascist state.
We want to start a revolution
but we are pacifists
who don't want war
But we fight among ourselves
The answer is simple
Scientifically we are all the same,
lets give up the game
and turn to the moderate centre
or better still
let the good guys prosper,
the bad fall away
through mutual co-operation,
understanding difference.
Love may conquer all
Let the walls fall away
and the truth be said
Give the homeless homes,
set the weak free
and the strong at the top,
take the burden and pay their way.
