revolution in the air
dictators scramble for their millions
fighting for their lives
against the power of love
love of freedom
love of justice
love of truth
love of self
tunisia, egypt, libya, yemen
children, youth, women and men
siding with humanity
over power and greed
and what of my sisters and brothers
at home?
and what of the masses
jiggly asses
still glued to the lazyboy
glassy eyes flip between
desperate housewives
and desperate 'leaders'
pouring passivity on cornflakes
accepting wild distortions
for truth
murder as defence
corruption as
inevitable
and self as
incapable
of anything but
abject apathy
