Bum Rush Us Poem by Michael Walkerjohn

Please
means
please
to the
sheep.
And
that
‘friend'
sitting at
that table
knows you; live
within these walls …
aware that the wise and
ruling after years of killing, are
mere references of literature and history.
‘The Persian' is a rich language. One word
however stands tall amongst all others …
جادو گر

From ‘The Persian' is derived:

بنى آدم اعضای یکدیگرند
که در آفرینش ز یک گوهرند
چو عضوى بدرد آورَد روزگار
دگر عضوها را نمانَد قرار
تو کز محنت دیگران بی غمی
نشاید که نامت نهند آدمی

ابومحمد مصلح‌الدین بن عبدالله شیرازی‎
Abū-Muhammad Muslih al-Dīn bin Abdallāh Shīrāzī

"The children of Adam are the members of each other,
who are in their creation from the same essence.
When day and age hurt one of these members,
other members will be left (with)no serenity.
If you are unsympathetic to the misery of others,
it is not right that they should call you a human being."

It is thus profoundly humbling
that to ‘danger' we are each called
‘politically' through that which we are
so unaccustomed too … thought … as in
I see such the truth, that in any human there
is less than is needed … to be the leader of truth.
A very disturbing development is this not? That one
‘sees' yet does not act upon what is seen. So, the ‘blue hairs'
and the ‘gray beards' sit on their soft asses and continue
their loathing and bloating and choking and doing of
nothings … while the younger generations take to
the streets to exhibit the ire of the people! I
would truly enjoy the experience in this
day and age, of ‘seeing' the over 50's
crowd that is reaping the benefits
of this society more so much than
any other grouping of citizens …
get off of their phat arse' and
en mass march on Washington
and dare that orange tinged idiot
to bum rush US!
