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.
