The revolution you want…

…will never happen, stuck

as we are

in an endless game,

let’s play Risk tonight

you ask, but I counter

with Blind

man’s bluff, or even

solitaire,

to play on in pairs, the group

game has now become impossible,

Risk…too risky to show the side

of the coin you flip,

as it spins and tumbles

in to the crack between

soul and mind, you call tails,

knowing that now the revolution

we deserve, is a game

nobody is prepared to win,

all too comfortable, fed

on bread and cyber argument.
