This is not a call for violence

Burning a flag is like hanging a cop
from the top of a flagpole while the fireworks go off. it's pretty,
symbolic don't you think?
I think it is a symbol of what we are trying to say
and there has to be a better way...

Marching the bankers to the guillotine
could balance the ledgers or just be obscene.
what do you think?
would it set things right?
What would you say?
If the streets ran red tonight.
The question is,
does the end justify the means,
or are we just being mean.

If we make a compromise are we half way on there side, is there any room to bargain behind enemy lines,
it is easy to give in to apathy,
it is temping to say we can change nothing,
But how long?
Before this powder keg goes off?
and who will be the next Leon Czolgosz
