Poetry Corner: Tactics of Protest

Entrenched in my beliefs,

Willing to sacrifice,

We’re not playing guess who unwilling to lose.

We’ve adapted and changed since the era of the Civil Rights days,

A little less patient with a bit more rage,

Revolutionary principles so raw.

Martin and Malcolm taught us valuable lessons,

Add the panthers Bobby and Huey showed us the blueprint in how to move.

400 years a slave is enough,

Maybe looking to our ancestors killed for no reason is the last straw,

So now we appropriate disobeying yours and making our own laws.
