The Revolution Won’t Be Live Streamed
By Trevor K. McNeil
I wrote a song today, I hope you like it……
The Revolution Won’t Be Live-Streamed
In this brave new world
we all have a voice/
Though not every woman
legally has a choice/
Social Media is the best invention,
though we’re still not big on intervention/
YouTube can be
a great place for learning/
How better to forget
forests are burning?/
When you’re feeling ill,
you can Netflix and chill/
Escape your fears for a while/
Like how the leader of America,
is really just a tall child/
Tumblr is now the best way
to prove you’re real/
But some folk are big
on the venomous zeal/
The worst thing online
is no longer spam/
Some are politicizing Instagram/
Five Tweets forward,
One step back/
The only hacactivists
are the ones who can hack/
The revolution won’t be live-streamed/
It’s called reality,
you can’t hide from it/
No matter how much you
like and comment/
The revolution won’t be live-streamed
We already live in the future,
let’s just admit it/
Choose a platform and commit/
The revolution won’t be live-streamed
To join the revolution write the government today/
A better world isn’t a hashtag away/
The revolution won’t be live-streamed/

Well that was fun. I will be back next week with my regular column. Happy Thanksgiving!
