The Revolution will not be televised
sure, yeah
I know the revolution will not be televised
It will not be witnessed either
Infact
It's happening right now as we speak
even as you read
Inside your heart
and inside my mind
I have no doubt
There will be no large uproar
with mob chantings
There will be no hyms of praise
Nor records reflecting
how the event was carried out
There will be no heroes
There will be no saviors
There will be no hope
The transition will be filled with silence
while your sleeping
It will happen SO fast
that before you realize
what is actually
quite literally
taking place at that moment
you will already have been
changed
The Revolution cannot be televised
It cannot be seen
It cannot be heard
It cannot be smelled
It cannot be corrupted
It cannot be taken for granted either
It cannot be the "end all, be all"
It cannot save you from
Coffee Houses
Cafes
or traffic jams
a 9-5 job at the mini-mart
a job that requires you to file papers
and call phone numbers with extensions
The revolution cannot save you from
Water Cooler conversations
nor getting up at 6 or 7am
on sanday mornings
to calm a screaming
infant
The revolution will make itself known
like a small breeze
quiet whistpers brushing against your cheek...
and it will take place on the eve of a morning
as you lay sleeping still
The effect will cause you to getup out of your bed
and to use the bathroom
The revolution will have no witnesses
will have no heroes
will have no records
nor documentaries
with individuals speaking on
how they played out their parts
For some
the effect will be SO strong
that you might even get something to drink
or a light snack
before retiring back to your room
It's quite possible that the revolution
has already happened to you
if it has
There are counter measures to take
1. Continue to live out your days
as you normally would
As if you'd never seen this message
As if it happened months ago
But I assure you
it hasn't taken effect yet
The revolution will have no witnesses
