Revolution R.I.P.

you know why the revolution
won’t be televised?
because no one would come.
they’d stay home and
watch on TV—
bloodlust broadcast,
microwave snack:
mute the sound,
mute the truth. 
pick a side, the one with
the best looking soldiers;
you can’t love them if
you don’t want to fuck them.
pray they live
prey, they die;
star or martyr,
either way.
that’s entertainment.
