What does it take to revolt,
Does the body automatically jolt,
It will when the time is ripe and right,
Taking breath around your neck feels right,
To live feels more painful than the alternative,
Revolution is the natural evolution in such a case,
Is the world truly fair and just, ponder if you must,
The answer lies somewhere beneath the web of lies,
Naturally not occurring but you need to delve deeper,
Evolve into a newer self to find the right answer,
In such a case, you will find the solution which is a revolution,
What is a revolution one might inquire,
It is when you stand up to the aggressor,
Even when your legs shake with fear,
It is when your voice rises over the whip’s hiss,
Even when it’s a weak sound from trembling lips,
It is when you decide to defend yourself and rest,
Even when it is safe to just hide and bide for a better day next,
It is when you feel you are crossing boundaries,
Even when they never existed in the first place,
It is when your aggressor accuses you of attack,
Even when your fist is raised to defend their blows,
Maybe my words might not embody words whole essence,
That’s why it is a revolution, it erupts and disrupts,
Even its own preconceived perceptions and histories.
