Noble Protest

Today I saw a protest that had purpose and had heart

A change from the narcissism of the recent past.

A protest not of a man that you simply didn’t like

But of his specific action that inhibits human rights.

Your voice was clear, your message heard and we all understand

The power that we have when in unison we stand.

The previous demonstration that there are things you won’t abide

Today had a clearer purpose as you stood aloud in pride.

As this saga continues we all know there will be times

When your compassion is required on the front line.

Do not lose your clarity for a clear voice is strong

But don’t protest nothing, when nothing done is wrong

You may hate the man for his personal life

Don’t protest his past no matter how bad and rife

Protest every action he takes now that is suspect

For today you are the noble and today have my respect.
