the observable occurrence

[sweetwater]

light creates shadows
like the shadow of men
who hide behind a curtain
of an austerity

to say ...

the imposition itself
seemingly less than democratic

protestors on the march
in opposition of measures
of a seeming autocratic dilemma

use violence in the protest
to change the context of a protest

to an armed combat where
people get injured

because they don't want to lose
their benefits and sick days

the observable occurrence

the idea of the need to 'fight'

...

whoever fights win
whoever walks away

enjoys their new found freedom
