human nature

I see the protesters
on tv.

it's late. a sunday night.
some seem

to be having a great time.
full of excitement.

I don't get any sense of mourning.

just chaotic
screaming and yelling.

setting things on fire.
cars turned over.

ah, I remember those days.

throwing things.
chanting until hoarse.

will the world change because

of this.
no.

more injustice, more wars,
more
of the same.

that's the answer, and always
has been
and will be.

human nature,
the impossible force.
