lyrics written and recited by gil-scott heron

lyrics

and we call this poem "omen" :

a giant eye zapped across the screen
with tentacle-type, feeler-type, thin roots
reaching for someone, maybe me
with large, black, block letters
chiseled into the whites around the pupils
screaming
R-E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N
revolution
and as the eye
giant and green
sorta oozed with no obvious
locomotion
closer and closer
until it was like this on my screen
it split
and blood flowed down each side of the street
washing away things that we didn't need to see
just like beer cans, peanut shells, and copies of the daily news
and then
laying there
bleeding like a stuck pig
was a stuck pig
get the point?
