Pieces of a man

It's hard to explain how much the music and lyrics of Gil Scott-Heron have inspired me, but here's a small tribute I just put together after I heard about his recent death.

You will not be able to stay home, brother
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and drop out
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip
Skip out for beer during commercials
Because the revolution will not be televised.
