Power needs our concessions

“Power concedes nothing...“

a nothing we’ve taken when we give
it the power to demand
more from us. But what if
we refused it? What if

not a few of us, but all of us,
refused its demands, unmoved
by its roar,
or its thunder, not afraid

of its ocean or its rain?

No water, no matter
how violent,
can command the sand. It can
only displace a tiny fraction.

I support the Occupy Chicago Wall St movement. The corporate greed and resultant destruction that profilerates and affects the entire world from your country must be stopped and who better to do it than its enlightened courageous citizens...Go get em Yankee boys!
