Revolution

There is talk of revolution everywhere

from mouths

that have never used the word before,

except

to talk about, the poor broken countries

- bananas, 

just like ours.

Will grey fields ever be returned to grass?

Will towers raised high for increased yield

be leveled, and returned to field?

Now, the babies that were sent to creche

will stay at home, with mum and dad,

and grannies man the checkpoints,

while grand-dads set up

window cleaning routes.

What new statues rise,

when old icons fall?
