Ah!

The cries that ensue

when actions take their logical consequences!

But!

But!

But!

We’re on Earth, you know..

Oh, you might not want to feel the impact of gravity

but if you jump, you will fall.

Suck it up, buttercup.

You did the crime, you get the time.

Rant all you like,

but effect always comes after cause.

It really shouldn’t be such a surprise.

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.
