Red White and Blow

MCD
5/11/2013

Revolution is all around us,
like spring air spinning
tornado like, kicking up
old uncomfortable dust that’s
tucked this land to sleep
and scratched the lens
we see another side through

For some of us older it’s
a Maoist moment, and younger
it’s the millennium a few days late
but for that handful whom
love to burn us all at the stake,
it’s the end of times all over again,
the coming apocalypse and hell’s
a-popping getting all uppity

Minds have opened but
so have the caves and
all the darkly things are creeping
out, past the centuries of
wrought iron rust that kept
a candled eye upon the musing

And now such as it may be,
tis hard for even this hard core
to call against the one percent
as they lead the ghastly rising,
those afraid of fading
because as it was written,
“we say we want a
revolution”, “and in a
way it’s here”
