CHILDREN OF THE REVOLUTION - New Poem by Strider Marcus Jones

CHILDREN OF THE REVOLUTION

voices

make their choices

in the game-

to remain

loyal, or abstain

and stunt reputation

for self gratification.

get real

profits of career soon heal

the sacrifice of bold ideal-

when the grey suits in the system

say: preserving status quo, is the wisdom

in this play. other tunes, are moments of fame-

memorable then forgotten in the main

stagnating stream of politics,

where embedded institutions share the same

out of tune,

out of reach hot air balloon

playing unmusical licks

treading us down in the gravity

of tribal tricks

with ghost notes

wearing uniforms of haved normality

in the foreground

and background

with loaded guns inside

and outside

their tunic coats-

ready to suppress any massed intention

of Bastille insurrection.

you don't have the right to repeal my name,

or make me think and do the same

as you.

your way, is extinction-

only seconds

as time reckons,

a philosophy founded on myths,

twisted in technological trysts

tuned to suit you.
