Civil rights, Viet Nam, Black Lives Matter, Gaza Genocide; the end result always is the same.




It Happens Every Time

Well, yes, the Constitution says that you can gather peacefully,
And voice the grievances you have. It doesn't promise you'll
Be heard, and, if you are, you'll soon be chased and beaten,
Tear-gassed, hauled away by goons who claim that they are
Acting to enforce the laws.

These words of yours, Lawrence, cannot be read and silently consumed! They deserve accolade if for nothing more than their honesty! The dichotomy is blatant. Blessings, Allen

justice works almost not because it is fair but because it is coercitive...that are my conclusions so far...
