Showcase Protesters Attack Mona Lisa Poem by Terence George Craddock

showcase protesters
the kind that make a big showing
of their agenda protest

the kind who attack museums
glass cases precious art objects
cultural heritage sites statues

with total contempt zero respect
for the feelings of civilized citizens
in society their civil rights

rule of law designed to protect
property citizen all rights
of all in civilized societies

view an in your face
eye catching museum protest
in Paris Louvre France

two flies in the soup
no waiter no table
one splattered picture

Mona Lisa weeps in protest
one wasted soup meal
hungry remain hungry

final ruling a masterpiece
an historic clean up act bill
food fight food for thought

final glass exhibits
record fine time
or behind bars time

the cause a call for food
'the integration of food into the
general social security system''

protesters two women
never been starvation hungry
with no respect for food

opened thermoses
splashed world famous
Mona Lisa masterpiece

with orange soup
nasty streaks splashes
throwing wet mud

would have been symbolic
instead threw mud iconic
at their cause how bizarre

zero respect for art
zero respect for artists
zero respect for food

contrast beautiful artists
give time energy love artists
sing hope 'Feed the world'

We Are The World 1985 to timeless
gift artists for love artists for peace
peace sacred holy birth born in love

peace never born in hate violence
choice choose love or intolerance
humanity in adversity choose peace
