how much the protesters were
being paid
to march
and scream and yell
and carry signs
from three to five.
they were earning money
for just
a few hours of being
out on the street
acting nutty as a fruitcake.
banging pots and pans,
blowing kazoos,
singing songs they
were handed to by the organizers
in green vests.
then the clock
struck five
and they all went home
with a pocket full of cash,
mission accomplished,
the world was changed.
