Start a Revolution of Shut the F*** up!

start a revolution or shut the f*** up...
what exactly do you plan to do with all the doo doo you left on my shoe...
now that its there I can't walk around like I don't care...
cuz I keep smelling it and that's not fair...
don't sing me your blues, between your actions and my views which
one do I choose.
Let's not even talk about the news....so many crews built to
use and abuse what is and what's not....I try not to hear the plots
bc all I want to do is know more...
but the stinch from politics rotten core makes me sick...

Start a revolution or shut the F**** up...
Can somebody tell me what the definition of common sense is
Because it seems that my people are commonly senseless....
I wanna go door to door searching for the righteous like the Census....
I wanna round up the ignorant , get them on a bus....
Then send them to the country from which the shipped us....
Watch their faces as they stare in disgust....
Its too easy to be lazy in America when you're Black in America,
blame racism and discrimination for injustice your area...
Keep calling on Al and Jesse to carry us....
if not them then who, it damn sho ain't you
Start a revolution or shut the F*** up

I wanna write something that will ignite something...
say something that will make them pray something...
a vibe that will make the DJ play something that means something...
but the scheme of things is more popular that the meaning of things...
kids don't have the imagination that dreams used to bring...
God is no longer the reason why choirs sing...
I pick up my remote, point to my TV and all you hear is CH-CHING
what really matters seems to matter less and less everyday
I welcome the sound of new voices, trust I hear what you say but just...
Start a revolution or shut the f**** up.

- That was tight! This poem definitely had that hip hop vibe and rythm. The second stanza seemed a bit racist at first but then I realized what you had said, and it was quite powerful.

YES! Youre so right! That was a powerful poem and I think youre very talented.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are correct. Walk the walk. Don't talk the talk. A outstanding poem. I have been fighting all my life for the eco-system and others causes. Can't give up. What will be our excuses if we watch this old Earth go to hell.
