The Revolution has been televised,
in Tunis and Tripoli;
televised by tourists and telephones
and you tube.
The Revolution is being televised,
in Madrid and Barcelona,
televised and improvised by students and
the young vote.
The Revolution will not be televised
in Tucson and Talahassie,
terrorised by homeland security
boogie men.

I like this Ewan.
Didn't quite get the 'blues' connection and I wondered if you meant 'bogeymen'.

It's always easier to see what's going on at a distance. It gets a bit dangerous when it's too close to home in a western democracy. Though Spain may be the exception! What do I know? Delapruch wrote a piece about an USA school pupil being under suspicion as a terrorist. You should try to read it. It's good.

Thanks to all for commenting.

Richard, I'll go back to your piece tomorrow and comment properly. I liked it when I read it first.
