Unique Similarities



The same action taken.
As a defense mechanism.
Using a right to protest.
Following the rules.
And obey them as stated,
Documented in a democracy.
Has its limits.
As to who, whom and what group,
Is perceived to deliver...
A free speech spoken to speak it publicly.
With a tolerating patiently,
Exceptions like these:
The status had by an Ivy League College.
Well known alumnae donating funds.
The guaranteeing of their children,
Will from these schools graduate.
Regardless if they may or may not be,
Qualified intelligently.
And, of course, their ethnicity.

Now...
If these privilege juvenile delinquents,
Should happen to be observed...
Protesting against rules and laws.
In activities witnessed to see on TV.
Breaking windows and into buildings,
Of these prestigious universities.
Colleges.
And other well known institutions,
Across this country.
Could it be...
They are suffering from,
Truth discovered to deceive reality?
Or...
Perhaps the way to them is presented,
Is not animated enough to fiction.
With their favorite smiling animals,
In leading roles adorning capes.
Playing heros.
Coming to save their painless happy days!

Oh...
Remember when in the good old days,
BLACK LIVES MATTERED!

NOW...TODAY?
It's politics.
Religion.
And the rage to crave,
Madness, division, racism and self hatred!
