Revolution is a sudden, radical or complete change.
But revolution is more than that.
Revolution is telling your Boss "No! I will not stay after hours just because you didn't do your work"
Revolution is standing up against bullies, no matter what age.
Revolution is a girl wearing pants in the 1940s.
Revolution is sweeping through the streets of Russia like a Tsunami as you demand your rights.
Revolution is burning yourself alive to make sure your cause is no longer ignore by the newspapers.
Revolution is riding Freedom Bus and knowing that at any moment the road could be loitered with bible thumpers with guns in their hands.
Revolution is Katniss twirling, while her dress flames into a Mockinjay.
Revolution is standing tall, chanting while the weight of the shackles drag you down.
Revolution is waking up in the morning not caring if you survive as long as we get one step closer to change.
Why must people die for change to happen?
I love this poem, especially how you incorporated the hunger games :)
