UnCivil Disobedience
Author: Shari SmothersMar 23
Toxic poisons of
sixties-like wanton anger
and visceral hatred
my heavy heart bears
witness to people who call
for vandalism—
murder—
Shiiiiit!
Some of them have claimed
these acts are protected under
civil disobedience.
So
Not only do they
not know how to behave in
political settings,
they apparently
can subvert words, disguising
their actions and intent.
Oddly, they and some
followers are the only
people buying it.
