Viva La Revolution

This smile blooms happily across my face
Curling like the ribbon around your wrist
Coyly caressing the soft skin there
Pleased by an unexpected twist

Showing a new side to the shiny penny
You’re loosing your worth with each passing day
Credit fading to reveal heavy lead
Value going down as you run out of things to say

Less and less means more and more
Fake diamonds are loosing their gold
Hold as tightly as you want
You’re going to loose your hold

We won’t stop until we know they’re free
Leaving hints for all to see
Crossing lines and hearts, hoping not to die
You wish this was the last goodbye

People are starting to fight back
Tearing the plastic that engulfed them
I’m glad to have witnessed
Where this wonderful chaos came from

Exposing the thieves for liars
Questioning the things they’ve seen
Rethinking their opinions
Wanting to know what you really mean

Be warned, things are changing
And this time it’s a turn for the worse for you
I’d start thinking up your excuses now
You’re going to need them before we’re through
