My sister asked me to write a poem, because my last poem was so popular, except for the woman who insisted I be drowned in a toilet for writing it of course.
So, sure! Here's a poem.
Welcome To It
It's harder than it looks
but only to start
the Mace only stings
the first five or six times
It isn't so easy to
get everyone out
if you started three months
ago with tweets and Facebook
And didn't spend years
selling papers on a corner
or working in a factory
manufacturing comrades
The mass media is lying?!?!
But only through omission
Before wintertime when was the last time
that you turned on the tube and saw a Tunisian?
Laying the groundwork can take a while
Just try to remember, when you are attacked
with truncheons and CS and online comments
to forget your kid training and swallow the howl
of
"Help me, call the police!"
They're already here.
