Twelve Lashes

* Twelve Lashes * (x 2.5 million divide by 7 billion = revolution) 04.10.2013

They can't break us
One of these days we're just not going to take it
Fed up

Pits of hell with flocks of doves
Circling. Bone wrapped in flesh with revolution
Emanating

See these pupils dilated
Staring off into the distance
Intelligent hands clasping, unclasping
Waiting

Inside miles of pressurized rock
Diamonds develop. Heat builds
Steam, energy
Can't break us

For now we are cowed
Broken. But it's just because these words
Have yet to be spoken

Semblances of greatness flicker
Fade. Flicker
What needs to be done grows
Dies. Forgetting remembrance of
Revolutionary resemblance

Millions of prisoners without sunlight
Stomachs growling. Self esteems
Calcified

Necessities. We want
Neither you nor the diseased bourgeois
Horse you rode in on
Will defeat us

You create us as you hate us
A struggle for sunburn
And less heartburn
Progressive

Fight us as we refuse fighting
Backs tore. Whipped clean of flesh
Teeth gritting, soundless, grunting each breath
You can't - not today, yesterday or tomorrow - EVER!
BREAK US!
