Theory of Revolution

There's something out there, past the sound of a muffled prayer. It's brewing somewhere in the midst of a group, it's the idea in some soldiers mind in the middle of a troupe. It's the words of a man who's lived his life, and warns his kids of the downward trend and strife. It's the silent tears of a young woman who's seen one too many leave. It's the mothers tears for her children wiped on her sleeve. It's the revelation that's long overdue, finally received. It's the final prayer of a father before his final breathe has been breathed. All it requires is the one who takes a stand, or a fresh breathe of air in a life gone bland. It's a sound that grows louder, every day growing in power. It's been said to exist yet in some peoples minds it's never going to happen and they resist. It's become a myth or at best a thing of the past that won't ever come at long last, been promised so many times and in so many lines. It's something so explosive yet we forget to check our motive and the purpose escapes us. This is something that won't remain hidden, it's something that will free the guilt-ridden and break the chains of those who have found themselves chained and those who needed something so badly that they remained, until they had given all they had or until it hurt so bad that they knew they need healing. This will give stability to those who find themselves reeling in a world that never sleeps and to the child when all she can do is weep. It will be justice for the wronged and acceptance for those who have never truly belonged. This is something that can not be ignored forever; it won't be something you can push off till whenever. If it isn't you, there will be somebody who stands up, there isn't time to waste, either take the mantle or pass the cup. It won't start as a force, at first it may only be you, even then stay real through and through. Rest assured that others will follow your example, your provision will always be more than ample. This is something much bigger than you, it can't be controlled, this is being right on time in the right place, meeting the right face, introducing mercy through grace, whatever the case. It's not just learning to lead, it's learning to follow, preventing the enemy from reaching those he may swallow. To many, it has become that thing we strive for but never attain, our desire to change the world while we let the cultural status remain. They say it's an illustration, but I don't read the margins, I skipped the Scott J. Jones annotation. This is something that grows inside the young minds of a generation, chosen; while the rest of the world stands frozen. Tell them it's impossible, too late; they're already redefining the word possible. They've heard about it and they know it's coming, the sound is growing from a humming, turning slowly into something undeniable, it has been tried, tested, and proven viable. It went from a thought in a mind to a movement of a different kind, a brand new state of mind. That, is the theory of Revolution.
