It's Time

Thump, Thump

                                 Thump, Thump

                                                                 Thump, Thump

                                                                                     You hear that?

                                                                                               That’s the sound of rebellion.

Fifteen Hundred hearts thump, thump, thumping.

Three thousand feet, marching in unison to the beat of revolution.

A clap of thunder waiting for its signal.

                                                                        A flash

                                                                                      Followed by

                                                                                                             BOOM

                                                                                                                           KAT  

                                                                                                                                     KAT                                                                                                                                                                         

Three thousand arms swinging like overworked pendulums

Fifteen hundred voices chanting:

           

                                                              Followww the—

                                 We Shall—

                                                        Say it Loud, I’m—

Not gon’ bow down to no man. 

Fifteen hundred beautifully brown faces ready to swing their

Overworked pendulums like Three Thousand worn and weary Babe Ruth Baseball bats.

Melancholy clouds drape the sky with sorrow.

                                                    But Three Thousand boots bathed in pain trudge on.

                                                                                     Sloshing in water up to their ankles.

Tears fell for forty days and forty nights.

                                                                  Flash flood warned, wet feet forward marched.

Are you ready for Revolution?

                                                       BOOM

                                                                           KAT

                                                                                                     KAT

            Cause it’s time.
