Title: Imagine Global Revolution (poem) Date: Spring, 2012 Source: FIFTH ESTATE #386, Spring, 2012, Vol. 47, No. 1, page 15 Authors: Ron Sakolsky, Sakolsky, Ron Topics: Fifth Estate, poetry, Fifth Estate #386 Published: 2012-02-15 16:27:47Z
What I love about
the occupy movement
is that it makes
no demands.
Is
a space
in which possibility
expands.
An opening
for imaginations
to upset
the applecart
of acquiescent
relations.
Imagine
clearing the slate
opening the gate
rejecting
the horrors
of industrial civ
un-Occupying
Turtle Island
and starting to live.
Imagine
not simply
eliminating corporate greed,
but creating
a world
with no corporations
to heed,
a planet
with no
capitalist system
to feed.
Imagine
not just
governmental reform,
but an end
to government
with freedom
the norm.
Not a left-wing
Tea Party
of patriotic citizen
dissenters,
but the demise
of the nation state
and an end
to renters.
Imagine
not merely
Officer Eco-Friendly
on a bike,
but No Cops
to dislike
no police (to) force,
none at all,
as a matter
of course.
Imagine
occupying
all the institutions
of the capitalist state
without
official permission
from the keepers
of the gate.
Occupying everything
that you now hate,
and transforming
the world
before it’s too late.
Tear up
the bloody
Constitution.
Kick anarchy
and start rockin’
global revolution!
