Revolution

They sought redemption
from oppression

they tried supplication
and persuasion

they tried protest
civil disruption

and when all these failed
to relieve the situation
they accepted violence
as their road to salvation

---

when all was said and all was done
and millions were laid in dark mass graves
the revolution, so hard won
asked the harder question,
What Now?
And wise answer was there none.
