Revolutionaries Rest in the Grave
my friend was born in the wrong decade, you see
he acts, talks, and thinks like a french revolutionary
well, he doesn’t speak french,
and he doesn’t wear funny clothes
but my friend acts like Robespierre
in nearly all of his affairs
his weapon of choice is the guillotine - in his art projects
his solution to all problems is killing the nobles - in his stories
he too cares about liberty, equality, and fraternity
liberty of students from the confinement of schools
equality of wifi access in our school’s classrooms
fraternity between him and our history teacher
my friend was just fine in this decade until he
stormed Queen Elizabeth's castle
mistaking her for Marie Antoinette -
i tried to warn him, stop him, I tried to save
him, but revolutionaries rest in the grave
