Try It -- Riot

~ Try it -- Riot ~


   Hop on Cop
   He eats Slop
   Off his Top
   He'll go Plop

 Burn things down
 To the ground
 Inhibitions unbound
 Flames' crackling sound

  Loot a store
  Take some more
  Work's a bore
  What's a riot for

  Do your best
  To disrupt the West
  You're just a guest
  Til power you wrest

  Have some fun
  Shoot your gun
  You've already won
  This country's done

so true of today's events... at least Oklahoma had the courage to charge them with their terroristic actions, if other states would follow suit maybe it would end...I just shake my head in disbelief any more... good write! hugs (hmmm my captcha code was cbs… perhaps I won't watch them today...lol)

You know, I've stopped listening to new more than a 10-15 minutes per day. That tells me all I need to know... I can live without all the other 'noise.' … And as for the cowardice in letting people get away with 'murder,' it is an abomination, an abandonment of civic responsibility. Oh, well... I sure sound old-fashioned. ~ OMG (Old Man Gersh)

You are so right. It sure is sad, if not quite tragic... Thanks, Jan!
