revolution: to make again a garden of this place

on the hands of the complicit, culpability is bright scarlet

and my conviction is only fortified.

the days of the prison industrial complex are marked.

the world trade organization and the world bank

and the monsantos and the disneys and the duponts

are going the way of dinosaurs

we, justice loving feminists, anarchists, anti-imperialists,

we, Sojourner Truth's children, the children of Emma Goldman,

Luxembourg, Ida B. Wells and Ella Baker

we, the green, the freedom claiming and self-determining

are undoing your muerderous mania.

we are taking back the power to see another way.

we are throwing light on your horrorshow,

exposing you in back rooms, boardrooms and conventions

to air your secrets, lies and unaccountable violence.

we're sitting down in the streets, waltzing into your offices,

smashing your missiles and blood soaked coffee empires

disrupting your business as usual

in traffic, on bridges, in the courts, on your bases

building unity and new models,

arming ourselves with economics theory and compassion

we're bent on being human, and don't have another minute

for your hate, for your greed, for your repression

we are taking the world

of white supremacist capitalist patriarchy

carefully and absolutely apart.
