[...] Revolutionaries with inconsistent urgencies,
Young men and women who keep enlisting to earn discipline or money
Political cowboys riding out anger and entitlement [...]

"By-standing: The Beginning of an American Lifetime"--a poem by Kelly Tsai

What does inconsistent urgencies means?

Does it mean that they often change their priorities?

Please help. Thank you.
I'd say it's more from one person to the next (revolutionary) that's inconsistent. Two people may differ, between themselves, in their urgently sought objectives. But it's not entirely clear; the two examples are not decisive.

ADDED: The second example supports this between-revolutionaries position in that this type of person--

Political cowboys riding out anger and entitlement [...]

does not seem to be, within himself, inconsistent.
