We Are The 99% Poem by Ray Lucero

People bravely took to city streets
Determined to effect positive change
Occupying parks n’ other public places
Beginning with Wall St. stock exchange

Carrying placards, expressing discontent
They set up tents preparing for “Long term”
Non-violent “Occupiers” did shout n’ vent
Making mayors n’ officials sweat n’ squirm;

After hearing in one-voice “We’re the 99%”

Police n’ agent provocateurs’ would try
To incite the growing crowds to violence
Remaining calm the people refused comply
One flustered cop maced helpless women,
Trapped behind an orange fence

Occupation is but one finger in a leaky dike
‘Til “The 99%” go out on “General strike”
