Jan Oskar Hansen Poet Didactic

Revolution

Fireworks
The new millennium 
2000
Promised 100 years of peace
Then came 9/11
And the world reacted 
Forgot to think
And we went to war like idiots
Hitting innocent and 
Guilty alike
Like feral dogs. 
And now we hail every 
Student with a smoke bomb
As a democrat
When it must be clear
They have nothing to offer,
But strife.
