You Cannot Make Us Go

We are here
loud and clear.

We are determined to stay.
Nothing you can do will make us go away.

We are a formidable force.
Solid as an Iowa farm horse.

We are the protesters.
The mighty mighty protesters.

We protest everything that has been done before.
We protest you and every system, anything, everything and more.

We are staying for the duration.
We are here to show the nation.

We are here, loud and clear.
Nothing can make us leave this corner so dear.

Except that.
Bye.

I figured we all have SOMETHING that would make us go. For me it would probably be a grizzly bear and her clan holding automatic rifles.

M. L. Kiser Date: 10/24/2018 2:53:00 PM That was a mighty quick decision for "a formidable force". Love the ending, so abrupt a surprise. Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 10/24/2018 3:55:00 PM I have seen this time and time again. A mob mentality easily turned with one little thing.

Rhona Mcferran Date: 10/24/2018 11:06:00 AM Wasn't expecting that ending!! ;D Love the phrase "Solid as an Iowa farm horse"... great imagery, and this had a strong sound to it, too (almost like a protest chant)!
