Shari's Telling Stories » politics http://slstellingstories.com A little poetry, a little prose, from Shari Lynne Smothers Sat, 07 Apr 2012 17:23:10 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 UnCivil Disobedience http://slstellingstories.com/2010/03/uncivil-disobedience/ http://slstellingstories.com/2010/03/uncivil-disobedience/#comments Wed, 24 Mar 2010 04:58:45 +0000 Shari Smothers http://slstellingstories.com/?p=3481

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.
