IDENTITY POLITICS
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will be lived internalised
The revolution will be going live
Turn of the Idiot Box
Cops is running hot
Back to back on FOX
Black on black crime
Screening prime time
In the boondocks
No ones shocked
Because TVs sleeping vigil
At the cost of civil liberties
#BLACKMATTERS rendered invisibly
In the land of white nobility
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will be lived internalised
The revolution will lived life
Black the nemesis
A stolen genesis
Now taking premises
Definition:
Oxford Dictionary-
Vocabulary hereditary,
Prejudice hitting kids hard
Like its parental secondary
Stereotyped and stereo hyped
Evil skinned like a dark Disney villain
Served up Willy-nilly
As your favourite cartoon- Tiger Lilly
A small pox poison
Causing hate and dreading
A disease spreading, venereal,
Like it’s Aryan Imperial
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will be lived internalised
The revolution is live
Identity defined to ethnicity
Is confined to histories complicity
Humanity is a multiplicity
A new world in order
Cannot have borders
Lay serene, we are all matrilineal akin
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE!
Change is the age of consequences for seen
Human colour blindness
Un-gendered defined US
Now has to bind US.
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will be lived internalised
The revolution is now
The revolution will be feminine
One half of the world’s development
Two thirds of the worlds labour
Income one tenth less in her favour
Owner of less than 1 percent of property
The biggest statistical poverty
The revolution will need male authority
Side by side with the minorities and the sorority
Equality its moral priority
The revolution will not be 1% economy
The Revolution from within
