Revolution

Wallace Dean LaBenne

The Revolution is a caustic sting.
The resolution is a freedom thing.

The Constitution is a legal sling.
The institution is a proper thing.

The Reconstruction is a union ring.
The introduction is a fusion thing.

The Evolution is a cosmic string.
The execution is a progress thing.

The Reformation is a reshape fling.
The transformation is a wider thing.

The Easter story is a sign of Spring.
The rebirth glory is a living thing.

The Resurrection is a faithful cling.
The predilection is a sacred thing.
