"You say you want a revolution"

"Today, I want you to write a poem of exactly 44 words (not counting your title), including the word revolution."


The zoo’s animals 
were fed up.  Enough
was enough.  After hashing
it out through Zoom,
they all agreed upon
a signal from Edgar
the elephant.  A roar
sounded and all
the inmates revolted.
They escaped,
and started an animal
farm.  The year was
1984.

I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.

    A unique take on the prompt, Sarah! But what happened to the farm animals? Were they eaten by the ones from the zoo?
