Revolution is calling. The guillotine responds to his list of names, it called upon. Spewing propaganda, he doesn’t hold back. Pen in hand with a medicated bath. Drawing out anger through a written word. A Radicalization that was never heard. Death is the answer, it sets us free. A decapitated head for liberty. The uprising continued just as he planned, for revolution ends where it began.

The Ballad of Jean-Paul Marat
Revolution is calling. The guillotine responds to his list of names, it called upon. Spewing propaganda, he doesn’t hold back. Pen in hand with a medicated bath. Drawing out anger through a written word. A Radicalization that was never heard. Death is the answer, it sets us free. A decapitated head for liberty. The uprising continued just as he planned, for revolution ends where it began.
"Five or six hundred heads cut off would have assured your repose, freedom and happiness." - Jean-Paul Marat
