Someone else will have to
carry that sign, scream that epithet.
I’m all for kicking the bastard out,
kicking all the bastards out, but
some guy less than half my age
will have to do the screaming,
have to breathe the tear gas,
face the bullets and batons.
But I want that guy to know:
I’ve been there; I’ve got his back.

Scrambled, Not Fried 
Oh yes, may the young rise up, as we once did. Would you email me at wildwomantwo@gmail.com ? I have a question. Smiles.

A very perceptive commentary
I think some of them are trying in many parts of the world… but I will also be on sideline (hopefully cheering)
This is significant too — we need people to support the fight against the bigots and the struggle against injustice. Well penned!
not to be confused with an aging-tater, a sort of oven-baked-skin with some extra eyes growing ~
Protesting is a gift for us Americans – many countries one would be jailed. I’m all for it as long as it doesn’t get violent.
In these days of trouble and strife we need younger and stronger voices to join us and make ourselves heard.
For those of us not quite too old/sick to picket, but too busy with other things, this poem speaks almost as well…I’ve stayed away from other Green protests because one at a time please, and this poem speaks for me.
