Best Disputant Poems

Dissident Outcry

Dissenters dominate the streets,
	The public dominion of demonstrations.
This POTUS threatens military domination.
             Just forget the pesky First Amendment.
Sowing seeds of civil war
                   The best path to reelection.
Yet remonstrations rally relentless,
	       One man’s terminal chokehold
A symbol of structural racism.
A metaphor for the socioeconomic suffocation,
	       The clamor and commotion 
torn and tormenting in every town. 
	Protestors street hue and cry,
	       voices of the marginalized and forgotten	.
	A human chain of disputant dissentients, 
		Occupiers striking for a new order.
Rebels demanding 
                a new systemic justice.
