OCCUPY THIS! (a poem by KPKeelan)
Monday, 23 January 2012 10:54
Overheated world
tired of living invisible lives
takes to the streets!
Angry voices of the overlooked
the undervalued
the criminally ignored-
a voiceless underbelly clears it’s throat,
finds it’s voice,
learns to say NO.
Working people and unemployed-
college kids and aging Boomers,
sharing a beautiful vision
of a world where Justice
has consequences,
where money does not equal speech,
where human dignity is respected.
But what next?
How do we make
the change we need to make
a sustainable truth?
How do we build a new future
on the ruins of a failed present?
Join invisible hands, you 99%
and start at the root of the problem:
yourselves.
Take the most radical step of all:
OCCUPY YOURSELF.
