Scott-Heron had it right about TV
even back then before networks tuned in
as generals in the military-
industrial complex, primed to ruin
any creative thought now, any chance
at liberal education, any
hope for freedom to truly shout and dance
against authority. Yet, uncanny
as it may seem, the revolution will
not be eulogized—not though they censor
the Internet, not by a prescribed pill.
The soul’s weapon outpowers nukes. Sensors
inside us will show them. Theocratized?
No. Atomized? No. Nor roboticized.
The revolution will not be eulogized.
