how to become a paid protester

i go online to do some research
on how
to become a paid protester.
maybe i can make a few extra bucks
for Christmas this year.
i see them
in their lime green vests
on the news all the time
TikTok,
YouTube.
they attend countless protests
around the country.
the Po Po know them by name.
to hell with nine to five,
the ad says.
you can be your own boss,
set your own hours.
work outside in the fresh air until
the tear gas arrives.
it's an excellent cardio workout.
tired of being a loner with
no friends, we'll here's your chance
to meet a fun group of lost
and deranged people
like yourself.
no experience necessary.
do you have a megaphone
and lots of negative
energy, angry all the time,
do you hate your
country, know how to set
fires and make exploding
devices, that's great.
a loud screeching voice is 
a must and we
prefer non-religious workers
with no
conscience or morality.
being estranged from your family
and having
no real friends is okay with us.
an empty heartless soul
that lives on the dark web
in your mother's basement fits
in perfectly with
our mission statement
that demands that we destroy the world
and take it
back from the Man.
the big spooky Orange man
in particular.
our motto is be angry at everyone
that doesn't
believe exactly like we do.
transgenders are welcome
with open arms,
as well as college professors
and baby boomers without a life. 
we value your
past experiences
made in the 60's. please bring
your canes and walkers,
wheelchairs, rescue inhalers
and plenty of Ensure,
and be safe.
try to keep to the right side
of the road.
defibrillators will be stationed
nearby next to park benches.
we do not discriminate by age
or race,
and
we don't care if you're a he, she,
him, them,
they or a furry.
we welcome anyone in an
animal costume.
come on down and bark your lungs out.
if hired,
welcome aboard
to three or four
exciting hours of looting 
and harassing
police on the streets.
if you can travel to Chicago or
New York, that's
a plus.
we will provide a gas mask,
helmet and
bullet proof vest.
just tell us your size, height
weight, etc.
and we'll do the rest.
sorry but we only provide clothing
in jet black.
also everyone will get a starter bag
full of broken bricks
and rocks.
we pay in untraceable cash at the end
of each protest,
and will provide a student lawyer
from Columbia
if needed when you get
arrested and carted off to the pokey.
come one
come all, join our enthusiastic
and growing team.
together we can make this
world a more
horrible place
and earn good money while doing it.
no ID's or background checks are
required.
