Peaceful Violence Protest March

Funny how

Eco-warrior's , marchers and so
called peaceful protestors

Love nothing more than when
one of their marches descends

Into fighting mindless thuggery and
random violence

So they can then be viewed being
dragged away battered black and blue

Crying foul whilst shouting slogans
out loud with such emotive slurs

As Fascist , Sexiest , Racist and Nazi

By any means necessary at all so long
as it tugs at one's heartstrings

Because if they so believe the cause to 
be just then they can justify the means
to the ends

And if they have to bend or don't play
by the official rule's of engagement
then so be it

To me that time and energy would
be far better spent both educating and 
imparting knowledge

Via rational engagement , conscience 
and considerate debate

That creating conflict and just another
thing to fight about
