My Collective
I have
joined a
collective
of poets
supporting
Occupy Wall
Street. We
are known
as Beatified
Anarchist
Bards
Overcoming
Our
Nervousness.
We do not
sign our
poems;
they all
belong to
BABOON.
New Occupy Wall Street slogans:
YOU CAN’T KILLL AN IDEAL
WHO MURDERED OUR LIBRARY?
99 BOTTLES OF BEER
ON THE WALL
REPLACE THE ARMY
WITH A DRUM CIRCLE
Proud
The 1% must be proud of Mayor Bloomberg.
He did their work swiftly, in the dead of night,
when no one could see.
I want to 99% to be just as proud of us.
We must never be angry, or violent.
We must just speak the questions
everyone secretly asks:
Who stole our lives?
Who stole our future?
Who crushed our children?
