This Revolution

Before the revolutionary comes first the revolution
Recognition of a problem; cognition of a solution
For the first revolution erupts in the field of mind
The ensuing action is a second footstep from behind
Even God in His New Testament first observes a man's heart
Where all the issues of life, subsequently his actions, start

Revolution of the mind gives birth to the needed force
The man manifested just to run the change's course
He is the revolution, a bird only called forth to spread
Revolution must first live before it can ever be dead

Once saddened by our ignorance, that I can no longer be
For this revolution presses on, knowing it wasn't me
