057.365 - reluctant exhortation

revolutionaries!
do not listen to me
do not read my words
or do not heed them
believe in your better world
believe in your better humans
your people who take back their own
take back what they deserve
share freedom and liberty
with all of us
teach us to respect each other
to love one another
to support each other
in whatever work is then
after you win
for surely there will be work
or maybe not
maybe that is part of the old
the dissatisfaction
the torturing the world
into becoming something else
maybe if we work with the world
it will provide us plenty
and maybe work with the world
looks nothing like work I’ve known
maybe it looks like play
maybe it looks like taking care
of the world
of each other
whatever it looks like
probably will amaze me
in any case, I wish you well
I wish you victory
and am prepared to bury you instead
so do not listen to me
or heed my words
fight on!
