  1. I.
  2. I'm sure you want a revolution
  3. A pure and clean and sound solution
  4. But say to me: what's with sedition?
  5. What, pray tell, leads to the damned action?
  6.  
  7. Yes, I see the need to speak up there
  8. We're keen to shed the burdens to bear
  9. Still, how strong are the words that we share?
  10. Will power be split, and the poor spared?
  11.  
  12. II.
  13. No, not yet, not at these trying times.
  14. The moment set is not at its prime;
  15. Fates will always be sold at a dime
  16. to fools who pay another man's crime.
  17.  
  18. So lay off the pen and paper first,
  19. Let ordinary life quench your thirst;
  20. Keep senses alert; then act in bursts
  21. Slowly rid strife until no one hurts.
  22.  
  23. III.
  24. Until then, plan wisely and truly
  25. Never hasten the road to vict'ry
  26. For revolutions rise, but slowly.
  27. History's advice is certainly:
  28.  
  29. "Care for the little; they're infantry;"
  30. "Prop up and armor your cavalry;
  31. "Steel your fortress from inquiry;
  32. "Or risk falling ignominiously."
  33.  
  34. IV.
  35. Start by educating every town
  36. About what it takes to claim the crown;
  37. Never let your movement crash and drown
  38. Resist the urge to break allies down.
  39.  
  40. Believe in the good people 'round you,
  41. Then enrich them 'till you don't have to.
  42. Keep them committed to what you'll do;
  43. Live
  44.  
  45. V.
  46. Don't rashly say: "I'll change the nation!"
  47. Deaf ears shall scorn that foolish notion.
  48. Instead, utilize erudition
  49. To map out fully your lone mission.
  50.  
  51. Gather them after, and teach them well
  52. Prepare your force against every spell.
  53. And soon, the revolt will spread and swell;
  54. We'll show the world what they cannot tell.
