Resolved: the Revolution Begins Next Thursday

With us all gathered here (all six),
The revolution's close at hand.
We have a plan and punchy slogans.
Surely, even moms in vans and
Guys in camo grilling steaks,
People home and doing laundry,
Those still at their second jobs,
Will grasp the need to rise as one
To overthrow the corporate state,
And seize what others claim
To own: the wealth the masses
Helped create. But Ed, too, has
Some clothes wash and Jenny
Needs to cash a check. The
Insurrection can't commence.
We'll meet again next week.
