In Search of Revolution


There was an uprising.
There were killings.
There were cries.
There was ignorance
To the cries of the people.

Shed some tears
In sorrow.
Clicked the tongue
In anguish.
Shook the head
In disappointment.
Looked at the sky
In despair.

With the emotional testament of the wrongs
That were going on in my society,
I started a journey in search of revolution.

Some had given up on searching because of hardship and poverty.

Some had given up because of money and wealth.

Some had given up because of power.

Some lost their life.

Hey, Revolution comes out.
I haven’t given up yet on the society.
I need you.
People are still suffering
From injustice,
From oppression,
From dysfunctions of society

I hear you.
Yes,
You have been searching for me
For your people, for your society.

To find me,
Know yourself.
Understand yours negligence, lacking, and failures.
Know the people.
Understand people’s negligence, lacking, and failures.
Make yourself to change for better.
Help the people to change for better.

To prepare for the change,
There are messages you have to convey.
There are principles you have to abide by and practice.
There are virtues you have to teach the children.
There are things you have to define.
There are characters you have to build.
And
Make the people to become a force.

Understand.
Society becomes dysfunction from
People’s ignorance,
People’s prejudice,
People’s arrogance,
People’s being hypocrite,
People’s failure to define,
People’s failure to voice what is wrong,
People’s failure to stand up for themselves and others,
People’s failure to prepare their children for better society,
People’s failure to embrace, to unite and to become the force.

Understandings of those are messages that you need to convey
To change ignorance to awareness,
Prejudice to allophilia,
Arrogance to humbleness,
Hypocrisy to genuine devotion,
And
To practice sincerely
For better people,
Better society.

People become the force
Only when members of the society define themselves as
All equal human beings,
When they understand each other struggles,
When they understand each other shortcoming and lend a hand,
When they stand up for others injustices,
When they live their lives as an example for kids,
When they lend a hand other to be better,
When they all feel the same purpose to pursue,
When they become trustworthy,
When they confess their failures and wrongdoings and are willing to change,
When the teachers know how to educate,
When the rich people know how to spend,
When the scholars know what message to give.

It is the human thing-
Dictator or Democracy.
It is all about the message, preparation and practice.
Sincerity in message
Sincerity in practice
Sincerity in living
Make one feel it
And
Make a difference
Make a force
To change for better
And there I am.
