Viva la Revolucion!!!

Viva La Revolucion!!!

By Brandon Palzkill

Type the url,

no access;

lost to the digital ether

behind a wall

of bureaucratic bullshit.

Politicos would drop

a cyber-nuke

to kill a virtual fly,

and throw

our first-amendment

freedom-voices

on a hasty funeral pyre

to memorialize

the death of democracy.

I refuse to let

some political prostitute

throw up their

unconstitutional

no-trespassing signs

in the way of my

virtual walkabout,

as I strike out into

the global village,

a man in search

of abundant knowledge.

E pluribus unum;

one of many angry voices,

crying out

to stop the injustice,

and halt the insanity;

remind them where we are

and refuse to let

our words be silenced.

We, the people,

have the power…

let us make it known.
