Timothy Hicks Poet Grook

Painted Signs

They shoot at us with rubber bullets
cause they don't like the words painted on our signs,
"Stop Detonating Love Bombs
In the Middle East!".
But I suppose that will be all that's left
when everyone dies for this
enigmatic War for Peace.

Timothy Hicks June 10, 2013 at 12:40 AM ... well THAT would be a high price to pay, now wouldn't it? Brings a new meaning to balls of steel... But ANYway... thanks for reading (and the laugh).

Richard D Seal June 9, 2013 at 7:07 AM I told you my mate got hit with a rubber bullet standing next to me. It can make a difference. keep protesting Tim, drip, drip, drip, it does make a difference. Take care, Richard Timothy Hicks June 10, 2013 at 12:39 AM Hope so! We ants are strong in numbers :)

Andrea Dietrich June 8, 2013 at 11:47 PM Gosh, this is so different and so AWESOME Timothy Hicks June 9, 2013 at 12:06 AM Wow, thanks for the compliment. Call it pessimism or realism, but I feel it's not so very far off from happening! All these fabricated wars and whatnot...
