revolution

 

revolution 

in riot mutating the meanings of words

close contact subliminal with meaningless thoughts

by time’s interactions with minds in long leaning 

will mistrust all except what begs no distrust 

for fact is fact enough and fact that the 

seeds of revolution have already been sown

for the mob in chaos their lexicon disown

and youth in their diction mimics the herd

in the social media medium always is heard

the levelling of idiom to the lowest denominator 

of demons in verse perverse in the extreme

and time the exterminator 

departs in a hearse
