Protest V | Gary Beck - Appreciate Language and Form through the Best Contemporary Poetry

Protest V | Gary Beck

Protestors marched on Wall Street
opposed to abuses
of greedy capitalists
wallowing in luxury,
while millions lose jobs, homes,
hope for the future.
Demonstrators were clubbed,
pepper-sprayed,
forcibly arrested,
unheralded heroes
speaking out for many,
supported by few,
destined to defeat
by hirelings of the rich,
elected legislators,
appointed bureaucrats,
serving the wealthy,
forgetting obligations
to a suffering nation.
