Escalating Peaceful Protests



There’s rioting in Spain, and some arrests.
They’re worried for the markets, for the friends
Who, marching, fell to bullets, and amends
Are threatened to police. But Al suggests
Coordinated efforts to abstain
From buying anything, and sitting down,
And donning disobedience, a crown
Upon the head of any who, in pain,
Have sought a better system. I don’t know
If there is any certain legal ground
For making an arrest. But if, in hound-/ing
All authority to deal a blow
To righting an injustice, you are seen
As dangerous, then fighting’s getting mean.
