Introduction

This is for Ellie Hoovs' July Poetry Prompt Contest (day 6) “Revolution, Reckoning, and the Poetry of Uprising”, which you can find more about here:

I am thinking of what they did in France, and could something similar happen in the USA?.

The music is "Bastille Day" by Rush from "Caress Of Steel"

Will Our Bastille Day Come?

🔥⚔️⚡⚒️🧱🏛️🧱⚒️⚡⚔️🔥

The Storming Of The Bastille Changed It All

The Rule Of Corruption Was Torn Apart

We, The People, Need A Clarion Call

🔥🏛️🔥

Bring The Goverment Down, Now Make It Fall

It's Time These Felons Were Made To Depart

The Storming Of The Bastille Changed It All

🔥🏛️🔥

They Cheat And They Bully, Dripping With Gall

Morons, Idiots Advised By Breitbart

We, The People, Need A Clarion Call

🔥🏛️🔥

So Self Serving, And So Far Off Ball

They Need Deposing, We Need A New Start

The Storming Of The Bastille Changed It All

🔥🏛️🔥

So Now Rise Up People, Stand Strong And Tall

Time To Load These Criminals On The Cart

We, The People, Need A Clarion Call

🔥🏛️🔥

You Know It's In Our Hands To Make Them Fall

Now We Rise Up As One, They Are Not Smart

The Storming Of The Bastille Changed It All

We The People Need A Clarion Call

🔥⚔️⚡⚒️🧱🏛️🧱⚒️⚡⚔️🔥
