Declaration of Inter-Dependence!
20th December 2011
Notes: 2
latest Time magazine cover
the 2011 Person of the Year is:
THE PROTESTER
Scene: Students sit in eerie silent zen protest of recent police brutality at UC-Davis while Chancellor Katehi walks to her car.
Power of protests through non-violence….and the Silent Treatment.
Scene: Zen occupiers amidst Black Friday at a mall near Boston
one person was arrested for “disturbing the peace”.
The People’s Coup has shook the world!
but oh not to be outdo,
the Powers That Be wish upon
the People subdued.
Alarmed, it’s time to make a legal crime
and arrest jane, jack, jill, and john:
they pull out their troops of black boots
black vests and black batons…
the books were trampled
the freedom camps dismantled
the people they divide and cancel,
and corraled like animals
but for their scandals
they didn’t see a candle
was about to be lit…
to shine on the dark side of democracy:
for the whole world to see
that the system they wish to export
is broken goods,
a nation apart at the seams
the Wall is crumbling down in a million streets,
the american dream is broken in a million pieces.
they bring their troops of black boots
black vests and black batons
to restore a false calm
to preserve a precious illusion
but they can not avert the coming storm:
the People’s Coup is gathering tide
and their freedom cry is: “Occupy!”
