Peace Protesters Must Be Arrested Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

writing under political radar
unpublished under search radar
equates to more censor escapes
knowing freedom of formal speech
does not extend to anti-war protests
if such protests might trigger
an uprising in anti-invasion protests
peace protesters must be arrested

humiliated beaten pepper sprayed
how dare such righteous individuals
dare interfere with planned sanctioned
profit mounting oil invasion wars
situational irony calling wars right
necessary to healthy growth prosperity
calling peace wrong threat to security
time to reevaluate restructure economy?

situational irony armies meant to ensure peace?
used to intimidate dominate exploit war fleece?
