Wrong Medicine (Occupy Poem)

it was difficult to stand outside a teepee
knowing there was a 'legal' meeting going on inside it...
that they were using the 'attorney client' privilege
in that meeting in the teepee, ...
I actually was quite angry
people kept going in an then being asked to leave.
they were not 'clients' of the lawyer,
the lawyer would abruptly 'evict' them.
In a way it played out the way one's mind
tries to understand the snaking history of it...
power, law, lines, rationalizing a justice for some,
at the expense of others, spreading it like fertilizer when its just .... poison.
an the moment passed into 'unity'
when the riot gear showed up... and they felt the adrenaline pump,
forgot who was left out
because the lawyer was trained to do that..
corporate white was still all over everything.
