Revolution!

Why so much blood?
Why so much terror?
Why such a flood
Of tears and horror?

Since when did humans
Look like dogs?
Since when did humans
Seem like frogs?

Why so much selfishness?
Why so much unfriendliness?
Why so much greediness?
Why so much unkindness?

Since when did authorities
Have all the rights they wished?
To cause such agonies
And then feel relished?

Why so much submission?
Why such a sudden revolt?
Why so much aggression
To make the french bolt?

Since when did violence
Appeal as a solution?
Since when did defence
Seem a contribution ?

Was it because you peasants
Were too poor?
And the law was unpleasant
To its deepest core?

Was it at the beginning
That you were lowered?
Left crying,
And deflowered ?

Was it beacause the goods
Were not enough?
And so all food
Had to be gained when time was rough ?

Was it at an early age
That you were force
In a cage
Of law and order- already divorced ?

Was it beacause you thought God
Had told you to lay low?
And suddenly you were the cod
Fighting back wih a bow?

Was it at the point of exhaustion
That you thirsted for revenge?
because frustration
Had left a sudden growing twinge?
