you say you want a revolution this is what democracy looks like

After trekking up to the Madison capitol today I have finally grasped the vastness of this so called "revolution."  Thousands of people both for and against Governor Scott Walker's bill are marching and chanting, all for what they believe.  THIS is what inspires me: the people of this great nation are INSPIRED.  In this revolutionary atmosphere the people, although on different sides of the fence, are all UNITED under one idea, the idea of inspiration.

So far peace has been the forefront of the protest, of the revolution, encompassing and filling the streets around the capitol.  With the addition of the Tea Party to the fight today, all we can hope for is a fair portrayal of both sides of the issue and for the continuation of peace.  

Now, I have never been a person with strong political interest but, with the protest enveloping me and captivating the nation, I have been swept into the fervor that is now Madison.  I do envisage both standpoints.  I realized that in these hard fiscal times there is a need for reform, for everyone to tighten their belts.  On the other hand, I could not envision a world in which teachers, laborers, had their rights stripped from them.  Without amazing and passionate teachers I do not believe any one of us would be where we are now.  

An agreement is vital.  The protest cannot persist forever.  Teachers eventually will need to go back to work, educating the future generation of businessmen, politicians, workers, teachers, and parents.

As for now the passionate people live on, chanting "this is what democracy looks like" and marching to change the world.  

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
