my yard signs live!

worst words






my yard signs were born from grief
february 2018
nra defended it's stance on 
bigger badder shineier assault like rifles
i took my stand 
parkland high gave us
more dead school children

my words were few
a simple opinion
a message of war

NRA SEZ OK
TO
KILL KIDS

i had made my stand
public knowledge
tempers flared
threats of violence
threats of arrest soon followed
i had declared war on MAGA 
on RACISM
on TRUMP
on FASCISM

several became 10s
10s became 100s
100s became my cause
1000s became 
hope for change

todays sign 
is the worst message
in almost 7 years
this sign will live until
i decide otherwise

we have become
chronically ignorant
rather than informed
the kool aid flows freely
flags wave 
everyone is a fukin hero 
not
we have cheapened our lives
we have witnessed the
best we will ever be

democracy has been 
hung out to dry

todays sign
is the worst 
yet






fight for freedom
fight for peace

Ever the warrior keith. Your passion shines through. Both USA and UK are undergoing political change. You are worried for what is about to occur, I am worried for what has already happened. So much for democracy, we now have a dictator in place who came to power on a pack of lies. As long as I have breath in my body I will voice my disapproval. You do the same. Fight for what you believe in. Too many people suffer from apathy and sit back and do nothing. We have most of the population over here really unhappy with the government. Well someone voted for them, not me and free speech and democracy have taken a massive nose dive. A tweet now causing hurty feelings gets you a prison sentence while rápists are free on the streets. You couldn’t make it up. Good luck with your campaign. We don’t have guns we just have kids killing each other with knives 😢. I worry sick about the future for my grandchildren.

It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor of spirit, virtue and morals. In a few days the globe will be draped in a curtain of grief and darkness.
