Analysis of Revolution



Revolution, is it a word i heard in a dream,
Or is it a real, and tangible thing,
We live in a land full of anger and greed,
While longing for the day when we will all be freed,
Sure, we have 'freedom' in our everyday lives,
But we are married to possesions, as though they were our wives,
I only wish that we had the gumption of our forefathers,
To truly rise up, and demolish all that bothers,
The ones in charge give us just enough to cow us,
But in all reality, they are truly frightened of us,
We are the ones with the power, the ones who truly matter,
So lets take that to heart, and make the revolution gather.
