Revolution Poem by Joe Rosochacki

Revolution



You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
Ah
You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead

But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow

Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
all right, all right, all right

John couldn't have it more correct
From the Occupy Wall Street
To the streets of Cairo, Athens,
Cities in Syria
From Oakland, Ca.
To the campus of UC- Davis
Ayn Rand once wrote about Atlas,
Now the 99% need to be heard,
So much for the 5.00 fee
per month,
Bank of America rescinded
The major banks had gotten the world by its net worth balls,
The Germans are propping Europe,
what a difference a century makes
Treaty of Versailles who, what?
The Chinese, are in effect propping up the American dollar,
If they wanted to, they could flood the money markets with dollars,
Thus weakening the 'intrinsic' value of the dollar,
But nay,
They would be destroying their valued customer
From the veteran was shot by a projectile, the 80=year old woman that was peppered
To the electric wheel chaired guy who was knocked on the ground,
To the bloody clashes with the police here and abroad,
To the economic instability that were made up of houses that were made of cards
Their foundation, the OTC derivatives that where globally abound
Yes John, you were right, , , -that is all right.
