Should we engage in politics by voting, or protest on the fringes, or a combination of the two? Let me read your views of this neoliberal era and how it will end (or maybe you think it is working and should continue)? Prose, blog or poetry...

Plastic Protestor

One man one vote 

It's what men and women have and will die for

Freedom frees us

It's why men and women have and will go to war

Sit back, relax and shout at your TV

'They're all corrupt but it doesn't affect me'

I'm quite happy being angry

About this toothless tiger called democracy

From Saudi to Somalia to our own suffragettes

Brave people put their lives on the line to fight dictatorship threat

It's all well and good to decry what's wrong with our nation

But when you're not part of the solution, what's your intention?

Log on, press keys and use caps lock

Fall in line with the blind and the rest of the flock

Apathy is their weapon upon which they depend

Without your vote cast you have no stance to defend

If you're not happy with the choice at the ballot box

Rise up, share your voice and put your neck on the blocks

Outside the system at the very least be a demonstrator

Instead of a keyboard warrior and another plastic protestor

Rise up! Make war against those who oppress us and our God-given rights! We must. . . Oh, wait, I'm writing a novel on that. . . You'll have to wait to read it, lol.
