Riots and revolutions.
Quiet alongside cartoons.
It WILL be televised.
And tweeted,
And petitioned,
And posted.
And then we'll all forget about it.
Fade to static
And then to black.
Claiming that this act
Will in fact have an effect
Inviting me to sign
To prove my kindness
To silence my conscience
But I'd have to be unconscious
To think that
It would do jack
The revolution will be televised
Loudly.
But it will die
Quietly.

Riots and revolutions.
Quiet alongside cartoons.
It WILL be televised.

And then we'll all forget about it.
Fade to static

Inviting me to sign
To prove my kindness
To silence my conscience
But I'd have to be unconscious
To think that
It would do jack
The revolution will be televised
Loudly.
But it will die
Quietly.
