Revolution-special request

Revolution begins with me and you.
when our minds are tired,
and tirade takes the better of us.
It starts when your conscious whispers that its time,
And it can't be any other time.
Its fuelled by neglect of the regime,
So that regiments form.
Revolution is evolution upside down.
Its when you can't take in any more abuse.
Its when you draw the line on the sand.
Its when you don't pamper a bad situation as good.
Revolution is when you're uninhibited,
its when you don't look for a word that hurts less,
So you could appear a friend of a sorry situation.
It starts when a beggar loses his bowl.
It starts when he detests the sound that the coins make,
as they land on his begging bowl.
Revolution happens when you no longer worship
the gods of war.
And instead you embrace peace even with your enemies.
It happens when the system changes,
without prodding by the masses.
Revolution is complete the moment the seed is in the mind,
Hidden from the prying eyes that don't want to see a good seed grow.

The Genius

an axe sharpens another
a mind beautifies the sight of another
better still
a wise man learns
from the mistakes of another
not by his own
'coz then he would reel
under the weight of pain n anguish
befalling him as he searches
for a better way.

To be knowledgeable is not to know all
but a little bit more
than the average mind cares to know
genius isn't born
tis' made from following tested ways
only following them a little farther afield to where they lead.
sages aren't born
only they stretch reason a little bit more
hoisting their minds
on top of great mens' minds
