Some say it begins from within
Some say it has already begun
Some say wait upon conditions
Some say inevitable
Some say impossible
Some say it is a process not an event
Some carry signs
Some sign petitions
Some block politicians
Some back politicians
Some become politicians
And I have seen 
Academic’s metaphysics 
Swallow reality 
Then spit back a peer reviewed tenure track salary 
And I have seen 
The organizers of labor 
Embrace parties of capital 
And I have seen age old cowardice 
Dishonesty, careerism 
Parade as groundbreakingly new 
And I have seen courage 
Burst into spontaneous flame
And I have seen fear in the pig’s eye   
And I have seen rebellions 
Light the night sky 
Then fade to smoke 
 
Some speak against the need 
For political education
Some speak against the need 
For party structure and discipline    
But I know 
Without theory 
History does not move
And I know 
Once the line is set 
Organization is key 

That there are decades 
For the taking 
To be wrenched from weeks
That we cannot wait upon impossible
That none can do it alone  
That everyday we must work to make 
Victory inevitable
That if we wish to see 
Revolution
Within our lifetimes 
We must   
Organize 
Organize 
Organize
