The activist with agenda clear,
from love of country oh so dear.
Keep the premise right on track,
or to derail, premise assail, detracts.
No time, present time for apathy.
Opinion unstated is a pointless plea,
when left for others to appoint.
The vocal defines the focal point.
Stand now for civil rights,
lest, overcome by individual right.
‘The squeaky wheel gets the oil’,
justly round, or wheel broken to recoil.
Letter to the editor, to state concern,
few bother to write, oppression earn.
Dissent for freedom or social repression,
when expressed, defines public opinion.
Dissidence for or against status quo,
philosophies vary which will bestow?
Speak not and hold your peace,
Then one by one your liberties cease.
Each have power when first to speak,
power is gained when forces peak.
Speak now or hold your peace,
fail to speak and the peace decrease.
Tomorrow, I will attend my first Tea Party. In fact, my first political rally or protest of any kind.
The list of speakers include Michelle Malkin and Joe the Plumber. This is suppose to be the largest one so far in Wisconsin. 8000 people attended the tax day tea party in Madison on tax day.
I am really looking forward to it. =)
