Gil Scott-Heron – "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" (1971)
2009/11/03Today is Election Day here in the USA and I don't know about everyone else, but I am sick of politics, politicians, and elections in general. I think it is time for a constitutional convention at the county level, the state level, and the national level. Common sense has apparently "left the building" and the change we are promised year after year is insufficient or in the wrong directions. It is unacceptable and I vote we tell them all that they are all fired and we start over!
Outlaw the political parties. Remove the power of corporations, lobbyists, and the American plutocracy, and give that power back to the people. It is all about "We the People" after all. Change the focus from getting rich to the pursuit of happiness and quality of life. Make sustainability a priority. We need big change but our leaders are too chicken-shit to do more than twist a couple knobs on a broken system. They are weak.
Time for big change. Real change. …Time for a revolution. Turn off your TV too because…
The revolution will not be televised.
