Distortion of Good

The economy keeps plummeting
and everyone wants to make
a statement, some people get
attention by pounding the
pavement, others rebel,
creating different versions
of hell, distorting the good
that could serve all Americans
well,

Occupying Wall Street has gotten
out of control, what seemed like 
positive revolting, has given way 
to violent souls,

Change will only come when
disagreements are handled 
intelligently, turmoil and upsets
only allows the devil to roam
rampantly.
