Protests

In the 60’s we protested

Out on the quads

With our armbands and banners and signs

‘Til the rage manifested

By police riot squads

Put a damper on all our designs.

 

We erected no tents

And we went home to sleep

But were sure we could orchestrate change.

Yet these current events

Which on campuses sweep

Seem, to me, very different and strange.
