Poem Jan 9, 2011

*an homage to Gil Scott-Heron*

The revolution will not be Tweeted.
It will not fit comfortably into a small box on your computer screen.
It will not be in 140 characters or less.
It will not be preceded by the @ symbol because
The revolution will not be Tweeted.

The revolution will not be about Lebron or Kanye.
It will not be to the music of Ke$ha or Lady Gaga.
And most of all it will not be about you because
The revolution will not be Tweeted.

The revolution will not be Tweeted.
It will not be the cutting edge 3d touch screen technology
It will not be able to run two apps at the same time.
It will not have cute accessories that will match your friends' because
The revolution will not be Tweeted

The revolution will not be Tweeted
Taylor Lautner will not take off his shirt in the revolution
During the revolution, no one will care about Lindsey Lohan
Sarah Palin will not be a part of the revoltution
Neither will President Barrack Obama
The revolution will not be Tweeted.

The Revolution will not be egocentric
The Revolution will not be Universal Health Care
It will however be health care for the universe
The revolution will not be Tweeted.
