revolution

the meaning of revolution
comes out in a certain terrain
at the time, a headache
and a blur before the eyes

our opponent is hiding
but
the stripes on his figure,
that piece of clothing
make me indignant with rage

he is very strong and healthy
i am resolute and firm

my blood has not begun to flow
but i am already blamed
