Protest Poetry; 1968 vs 2014, my submission for 'Birth Of A Rebel' compettion

1968 POETRY THEN
                 Vs.
 2013, 30th of June, POETRY TODAY

"Hell, no, We won't go!!"
“Hey, hey, LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?”

“The whole world is watching”
"Make love, not war"
“Girls say Yes, to boys who say No”

“1-2-3-4
W.D.W.Y.F.W”  (WE-DON"T-WANT-YOUR-FUCKING-WAR)

I want all you young’uns to know, back in the day, the best poetry wasn’t composed in café, but on the streets, strike lines and byways.  Poets composed prose on bricks to be thrown.  

Now before any of you wiper-snappers dismiss me as old blow hard, realize that today, on the 6th of June, 2013, the Supreme Court of the United States of America, has ruled that women are indeed, not the equal of men.  So for the sake of nostalgia let me suggest;

“No pill, no Viagra
No IUDs, no vasectomies”

Or

“Mennonites don’t decide my rights!
Now’s the time to stand and fight”

Or

“Scalia, Alito, nor Kennedy
Won’t decide
What’s right for me”

Or

“Hobby Lobby
Hands of my body
I’m nothing like
Your neighbor’s donkey”

Or even worse

“I have the Constitutional Right to fuck
Who I want
When I want
Without fear of disease
Or pregnancy?”

If you don’t know what I’m speaking of, you should.
Now excuse me, I need to recycle some old bricks.
