Where's you revolution?

How many times have we heard that the revolution will not be televised? (BTW if you dont know that comes from The Last Poets) Looking at the state this country is in from a lying president, to the longest war in our history, to everything from gas to bread prices rising due to "speculation" on what might occur (i.e. gas going up for Ike but not going down after Ike didnt do what they "speculated" it was going to do) to the golden parachute being given to the wealthiest of all american's while the rest of us struggle to make it from check to check (Damn, why am I going on this trip again?<<<>

Something I'm working on


Where's the revolution?

ask us

First generation to be worst off than their parents

financially, the corporate and social ladder pulled up from above

Lower rungs made slippery with a mixture of oil and blood

Too abstract? How this

We enter the workforce with more debt on our backs

than we can ever pay back

You have to pay for power

Power comes from knowledge

You have to win the Power Ball to afford college

Power to the people!

Revolution?

Brown Vs. Board didnt abolish separate but equal

You go to school in your district

which is populate with your kind of people

How many billionaires live in your hood?

How many kids with a choice go to public instead of private schools

Poor people try to separate by race but their all equal

Middle class separates by gates but are all equal

Rich people separate by their money's dates but are all evil, equal

But between those 3 lines

there is no equal

Power lines dont just direct current - see

They separate people

I love this line so much, just like tracks don't just carry trains they divide the haves form the have nots....
