THE PEASANTS REVOLT
*
Chanting Incantations
(One of many Manifestations
Of the Politics of Grievance)
Came the Crowd.
Mob Howling Maledictions
(Indication; Social Frictions)
Those Good Old Boys were Armed
& Loud & Proud.
Though their Numbers were inflated
with their Self-Entitled Rage
The Truth was taken Hostage
and locked up in a Cage
Bound with Zip-Ties & with Lies,
as the Body Politic meanwhile
was Flag-draped for a torn
& bloody Shroud.
Though they broke & burnt the Cameras
that had made them what they were,
the whole Event was filmed
because they made sure there were more!
Still their Actions by their Lawyers
will soon in Court be Disavowed.
Then no longer Storm -Clad Troopers,
or Soldiers for the Cause.
They are merely Naive Victims,
Respectful of the Laws.
Could you pick them
from a Line-Up,
or a Crowd?
