Revolution, Or Revelation? For Rachel

revolution, or
revelation?
maybe it takes one

to have the other!
how much injustice
does it take

before we demand justice?
how is it ever fair
for a few to live in luxury

while children are going hungry?
class warfare? or just
the right of every human being

to have his/her needs met!
how long will we wait?
how long will we let this go on?

revolution begins
with revelation in the heart,
and wears the scars of freedom!
