Question,
Did you ever realize who the biggest kingpin is?
They say real eyes realize real lies
Well the Revolution will not be televised
So, I was sent to open eyes
It doesn’t matter how much the government and media trys to wash things with soap, dope is dope
One of their jobs is to cut the hope and serve the dope
Yes, it sounds remote
But the Revolution will not be televised
So, look past the lies
Corrupt system but nobody takes note
Instead they sugar coat and turn us against each other
Only the snakes and roaches will stay afloat
You keep getting side tracked with Trumps diversions and ass eyes
Stay Woke!
Let your real eyes realize real lies
Because, the Revolution will not be televised,
The Revolution will not be televised,
The Revolution will not be televised!
Open your eyes the Revolution is now
The Revolution is Live!!!

Writing poetry is my passion but I recently joined a Toastmasters club in my area and I now enjoy speech writing. I am currently working on writing a book. They say you will never work a day in your life if you do something you love, well I love writing, and that is what I pray my profession will be. No, let me correct myself, my name is Jessica and I am a writer!
