Too bad

by Henry Burt Stevens
07/17/2005
www.authorsden.com

the push aside
people have found
a way to push back

people without power
without hope or money
have organized an army

that's hard to beat
because it's self
recruiting, self regenerating

damm them, go ahead
they'll laugh in your face
spit on them, diss their book

then wait while their army
selects the next target-
we'll scream, cry; they win again

we won't lose in the
usual sense, we will lose
because we can't win.

I hear frustration in this one but also a sense that we must keep on struggling to survive and hopeful by surviving we will win in time.
