My Thoughts On Protesting

My Thoughts on Protesting
2/20/2018
Tom

Through open revolt, dissenting views are expressed,
It’s always about principle, with me, not the reason.
I won’t become a prisoner to any threat or protest,
And I visualize occurrences as another “silly season”.

When many disagree, they soon craft a crude sign,
And it’s never an issue what the majority might say.
Then march in the streets and to the media whine,
Always ready to appear stupid if it gets their way.

Panagiota Romios January 22, 2019 at 5:53 PM Hi Tom, really loved this poem. Very on point, in a few words and well written. A breath of sanity, too.-)) Gratefully, Panagiota
