"What I Didn't Know"
I knew the President was wrong and his policies would crush the workers of our poor but proud country. After watching his address to the nation I wanted to stop him. But how?
I took my son Nikita and went to Starbuck's. Nikita played with the empty cups as I smoked and read and re-read the papers. How could this be happening?
Then a man joined me. I will call him "Z". Z agreed with me that the government must be overthrown. That the ruling class must be forced out of power before it was to late.
Just then Nikita crawled up on the table, knocking over our Grande Latte's, when Z raised my son in his hands and started chanting "Revolution for the Children! Revolution For The Children!" over and over again. Everybody in Starbuck's began to cheer with him and my son. A glorious moment!
Z took us to a meeting. There was a lot of talk of revolution. A woman I worked with at the tractor factory was there and wanted to knit giant tank cozies for the troops with revolutionary slogans on them. This would help nothing.I was depressed and deflated.
Then the leader of the group (I will call him "J") stepped forward with a clear vision of revolution.
We would mobilize into teams and take over the local TV stations and use our members in the press to print our message.
As Nikita played with a spent grenade in the corner I readied myself for battle. We would take over the media then march on the palace and demand the President and his cabinet leave office immediatly.
It was cold and snowing as we trudged threw the streets. I saw Nikita banging a fry pan as the workers sang and joked. J looked at me and told me the sacrifice was worth it.Then we split into teams and within hours the media was ours!
By the time most of us arrived at the palace the President had watched the crowds grow to a quarter million people. The army was called out and tanks moved into the square.
Nikita placed flowers on one of the tanks as a young army officer smiled.
Then the President appeared on the balcony and announced he was going into exile with his government to avoid bloodshed.
We had won! J was right! We had launched a revolution that deposed the evil government without a shot bieng fired.
As we swarmed inside the castle I hoisted Nikita up on my shoulders and plopped him onto the throne of power. He smiled as J and the other memebers of people's revolutionary government laughed and cried.
The country was ours.
But now what?
END CLIP
PBN: Strong stuff. But I love a happy ending.
Well thanks for joining us on "Silly Thinking Around The World". I'm Peter Blair Noone.
Goodnight.
