Chapter 1
So, you want to start a revolution
May I suggest a plan of action?
Start at home
With a revolutionary idea
Like wash a dish or clean up your own piss
Stop beating up your kids
And taking that which you refuse to give
What your family needs you dismis
Try a little tenderness
Chapter 2
So, you want to start a revolution
May I suggest a plan of action?
To achieve plus from minus
Mental and spiritual you’ll need to adjust
Pick-up a book, see a film, experience true self
If you have courage and will
Chapter 3
So, you want to start a revolution
May I suggest a plan of action?
To cause and purpose you must commit
No mindless recitations of what you heard are legit
Know the plan and work the field
Then follow only that which you feel is real
Chapter 4
Still want to start a revolution?
Let me suggest a plan of action!
GET UP!
You lay in the king-size bed of your mind
Covered by the blanket of your eyes
And talk
And talk
And talk of dreams and ideas
Ohers have born & schemed
IN THE END
Revolutions are by definition…Moving
Forever reacting on a previous action…On-going, grooving
Straight-up in the mission & for comrades only you’re bending
If none of these exist you are
Pending…

Well spoken revolution self expressions. Slavery within ones on inner person. Rising above the destruction. Ignorance that blinds on self worth. Blinders that continues to give the devil his glory. Recognize revolution begins with the resurrection of self.
