They say the revolution
will not be televised;
yet brothers and sisters,
let us not be surprised.
Let us not forget
the false news and their lies—
Are they not televising
the daily taking or our lives?
Revolution is about change;
yet for us, it’s still all the same:
like ripe black plumbs,
we remain strange fruits to hang.
Revolution can also mean
revolving back from whence came the game;
you know—like making things great again…
with the blood honored chain!
What must not be televised,
is our arrival at the new solution—
Not revolutionary change
but the changing change of evolution.
Indeed, the evolving of the mind
from the chattel to the free
is a mental quantum leap
that can’t be captured on their TV.
No, the freeing of minds of yours and mine
will not be televised—
Wounded minds will be revitalized,
free and forever revolutionized.
