Revolution
April 25, 2016 - 4 minutes read
Under the crimson sky, witnessed
The Universe in a jolting gaze
When humans shed their altruistic rags
And set this mortal world ablaze
When faithless rose in ranks up high
When truth and innocence, victimized
When, to artful gains, our concord kneeled
Our valued blood lost to caste and creed
Ye don’t know, Nay, the lust of power
You haven’t seen the horrors of war
When Jews were massacred in Hitler’s Holocaust
When Fascists bathed in sins aghast
When Stalin threw men off cliffs so high
When Algerians drowned in Siene so blue
When, in a ball of Fire, Hiroshima set alight
History tells tales, seldom we eschew
But, humanity survived, amidst all this cruelty
The rule of nature is sheer equality
Where there’s convention, there’s novelty
Where there’s enmity, love springs passionately
One man’s death sprouts a thousand lives
That’s when, with all its might,”REVOLUTION” arrives
The oppression, in its vile disdain
Think, this monopoly, they’ll sustain and contain
But history stands witness to infallible facts
Revolutionaries fought back and cleared the tracks
Sure is, if you compress a vial with lids closed
It’ll explode with even greater force
For it, Martin Luther endured great pains
Or Mao’s struggle to make China great again
When Jinnah, with all backlash and flak
Still carved out the map of Pakistan
It flipped the cords of dream to reality
And added luxury to man’s vanity
It lightened our house when Edison wrought
With Wrights courtesy, we flew concordes
They were Revolutionaries who thought impossible
And thought well ahead, ahead of times
Revolution is a courage that the rich fear
Rockefeller and Rothschild stray from it clear
It’s a death for dictatorship and socialist regime
A retribution to all the humanitarian crimes
It’s a stepping stone to elevated Heights
A beautiful day after the darkest nights
It’s a way to fight for your inherent rights
To serve justice to the violent crimes
It’s an opportunity to stand and be the change
For what you lost shall be regained
But listen O reader, before you marvel
At the wonder of this sweet sacrifice
Revolution ignites when it’s much craven
It takes hostages along with million lives
It demands more than your soul and body
It tests your faiths, love and families
Our time has passed their time is now
Those still oppressed, tired and afraid
Whose eyes still witness the bombing raids
Frantic rush of Ambulances, hysterical craze!
Whose answers to tanks are bricks and stones
Whose only speech is wails and woes
Who do not submit to oppressors will
Whose ears only hear “kill, kill”
With dictatorship’s on one side, extremism on other
With Zionists oppression, human rights exploitation
With decades of farces and unjust occupation
The veterans of Syria, Palestine and Kashmir
Have yet more to lose to materialize Revolution
To destroy by the truth, if it can
To destroy by the truth, then it deserves to be
But, fate be changed, we know already
The rising day will be enchanting and lovely
From the blood of the martyrs, the only revolutionaries
Will blossom a new lineage of sparking flowers
From our ashes a fire shall be kindled
A new hope from the shadows will spring
Replenished will be the energies depleted
Exquisite presents our futures will bring
Just know it once,
Once and for all
Revolution might resonate happiness but
“Real Revolution is the evolution of consciousness”
