Numbers on a blank paper
People mulling in the crowds
Enjoined with different goals
Wondering what to do now
Words broken on our backs
The speeches dispersing vapors
Monkeys clap the cymbals
Who runs the news papers?
Weather may break the spirit
Unresponsive politicos too
Fragile lines of their union
Ninety nine percent, too few

The encampments seem to be losing steam and an awakening of the others just watching would be good to keep the message alive. When the shelves are empty and the banks have gone bankrupt maybe they’ll start paying attention. I just don’t know the answers to the problems but it would be nice for the ones who do, rise up and take control of the situations.

I see Occupy as a NIMBY sort of thing… if it’s NOT in people’s back yard and they don’t have a loved one taking part, s/he is unlikely to get involved. I’ve been going to Occupy Madison, but mostly to supply food.
The one percenters will be happy as long as the other 99 keep fighting over gay marriage, abortion, and other issues that divide us. Amy

It tough to know exactly what the solution is, but we clearly need a reset. Sigh! We’ll see … a lovely poem, Michael.
