Revolution
by U.V.Ray
staring from the window
of a corner café
there is no release
from the monotony of grey
november streets
scarred with the contortions
of so many desolate lives
& starvation is a dish best served cold
when the only things that ever alternate
are traffic lights & corporate ad
campaigns
because nothing changes in times
when the revolution wont even make headlines
& in actuality less likely
in view of the fact
that
desire for insurrection
diminishes in the
flood
of banal tv commercials
& words become mere abstractions
that drip from young rebellious
lips
to support concepts they want you
to believe have solid
& wholesome
foundations
but its quite simple
whole armies are mobilised
to protect internal finances
(one way or another)
& any other reason propped up
as legitimate validation
is plain & simple subterfuge
& if you have a problem
with that
then go & live in
a country that itself is politically ineffectual
& subject to persistent
rape
or
start the god damned revolution
get off your ass
either that
or just go back to your tv
& coca cola
go eat your mcdonalds
& shut the fuck up

Hmm I think the main opposition to revolution is apathy more than contentment but wait until the recession gets worse.

It is the contentment that breeds apathy. Throughout history empires decline when the population decends into that apathetic contentment. When they no longer feel contented (when the recession gets worse) they might wake up – or the government might use its main weapon – the media – to placate the masses wih illusions.
