Newfound revolution

Revolution doesn't have a head,
throughout history, it had only bled;
in time and space, it had repeatedly failed,
economies, equanimities have gone
down the drain;
while enemies kept counting enemies,
the lookalikes also counted on the dead;
but, what had made the revolt spread
like wildfire, like the endemic plague
are questions brainy people need to address
with atonement, objectivity, and grace.

Else,
keep on fighting.
Either for or against a cause,
keep on righting the wrong,
keep on killing heroes and villains,
the inseparable twins;
let Hollywood, based on true stories,
earn its living by filming
the killing of teenagers
in the central park as late as in 2017,
or, in 1988, by vividly showing
how a 10-year-old was violated, 
leading to Mississippi burning;
let Hollywood earn Oscars, accolades,
you keep on losing lives
for the next hundred years,
you keep on living in the mess.

Whatever be it, don’t fall prey
to another gimmick,
by suddenly witnessing a white police
hugging the blacks; the whites, 
for ages, have dominated the world,
we were their slaves 
for many agonizing, useless years,
don’t ever trust any public show
of camaraderie and affection;
send them to schools where
they’d earn the real education;
remember, you have nothing to lose
you'll never be in their good books
be unafraid to be unpopular
for a brighter, hopeful future;
until then, let them feel the pain - 
that of feeling light
from the white man’s burden,
teach them not to judge people
on the basis of colors;
let their minds be ignited
from within, let them look
at the world as one nation;
let anger, jealousy, hatred, 
destruction, yearning for bloodshed
be effaced, be completely beheaded; 
let peace, purity, integrity, transformation 
be the pillars of this newfound revolution.
