Picket signs
propped in front of us
we strike for a better world
either strolling the side walk
or strumming harp
or guitar.
A strike is like a barbeque
for a cause
fueled by coffee and doughnuts
instead of beer and beef.

Shawn L. Bird 
This is nice. Is it based on a real protest, or just something you came up with. If it is real, what were you protesting, if you don’t mind me asking. I like what I’ve read of your work, and I think the photos you have on your blog were taken beautifully.
The blog post from the day before outlines it: http://www.shawnbird.com/poem-stand-up
Thanks!
Such true words expressed in a clever way. I like! 🙂
Thanks
