Poet’s Corner

Posted on November 18th, 2011 in AK News

An unsolicited poem was sent to us by Benjamin B. I haven’t a clue what our friend is referring to here. But it’s just too good not to share:

PUT A FORK IN OCCUPY OAKLAND


occupy oakland you broke my heart
i tried to love you from the start
this is not egypt or arab spring
in california we need our own thing
parents, teachers and working types
not those anarcho-libertarians on bikes

thank you black block
for spoiling the fun
narcissistic time and again
yes you’re the ones
food not bombs and ak press
destroyed occupy oakland and created this mess

The bizarre verse was accompanied by this even stranger cartoon. It’s horrifying with all the literature produced and distributed by AK Press that Benjamin and Andy Singer can still be this ignorant.
