United Victims Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

We PROTEST!
We PROTEST!
We PROTEST!
We PROTEST!

'Who are they?
And what is it 'they' protest? '

-They protest against...
Others in their own community.
Those who have decided,
To take steps to create...
Opportunities for themselves.
With initiating,
A bartering system...
That establishes meeting,
An exchanging of needs.-

'Sounds reasonable.
If it works.
But...
Why do they choose,
To publicly protest to address
This issue? '

-Well...
They call themselves,
United Victims...
Against Progressive Action.
And they fear losing,
Government funding.
Of their 'nonprofit',
Organizations.
IF it is shown to be known,
Opportunities they dismiss...
Already exist around them.
Can be conveniently ignored.-
