“The Revolution Will not Be Televised”

The revolution will not be televised.
It is not a source of entertainment, not an
advertisement, not partnerships with any company,
no contract.
This is not fiction.
Not acting, not pretending to be someone you’re
not.
This is real.
A movement.
A fight.
Our fight.
This is our revolution.
We make it our own, spreading it like wildfire.
It won’t be televised for others attention.
It won’t be the hot topic on TMZ.
A hashtag on twitter.
A news report on the news.
This is the revolution.
