Fists drum the air.
‘Down with government!’
Shots. Lives lost.
Authority topples.
Paradigm shift.
New power in place.
Time.
Not too long.
Fists drum the air.
The loop resets.
New goals.
New weapons.

…all the people…living for today…ay-ay-aaaayyyy…
Reblogged this on Spontaneous Creativity.
A reblog! Wow, thanks! 🙂
so true.
That last “new weapons” is perfectly chilling.
New weapons of the government or the rebels…?
Considering Syria right now…both, I guess.
There is truth in this. The ‘new weapons’ is chilling, though. New often means more horrific and deadly.
In weaponry that is a definite yes.
This is my biggest fear, as I age. That the things that rile me up will just turn into new things for the new people, if that makes sense. It kind of leads me down an existentialist path that I have trouble getting my head around. Thanks for making us think.
My pleasure, Trifecta!
The cyclical nature of history poignantly summarized in 33 words!
never easy to be rebelious and i agree the new weapons is scary … History is full of examples
Yes, definitely!
A scary idea but possibly true on some level!Such a vicious cycle-power definitely corrupts!
And over and over again and again. Scarily true.
Another example of history repeating itself and bad guys making the same mistakes. Great piece.
Good guys make mistakes too.
