the revolution

the revolver

coldly still

ignites bullets of

wonder

the revolution is not going to be through the gun

but through the organizing of our souls

passively resisting

the white world:

the revolution is not going to be through

saying "fuck you"

or through saying that the world is phony

so let's do drugs, get drunk, and do whatever we want.

the revolution

is not going to be through holding hands

and through singing Kum Ba Yas

but through honest assessments of ourselves.

yellow, black, brown

we are all discriminated against

through the language of political correctness...

we just don't know it because it sounds so pleasant

and asians are so used to discrimination that

they don't really know when they are being discriminated against.

open your eyes

and look:

the revolution is not going to be sudden

but through conscious effect, build our dignity.

the revolution is not going to be Marxist

but Post-Structuralist and Post-Modern.

the revolution will happen

when our artists are as honest

as the writers of Black Boy and Invisible Man

and when they realize

how there is no content in words anymore.

the revolution will happen

when people realize how divorced they are from reality.

the revolution

is going to be

a revolution of soul.

yellow people

discrimating against

brown people

and

black people

while they all laugh at us

and keep us running

keep as still, not growing.

the revolution will happen

when we realize

how nothingness

has invaded the world.
