Symbolic Acts(10/9/2021)
Brother Bollocks
does not
understand them
these people
who stage events
in order to
bring awareness
to something
else
they seem
to bring attention
primarily
to themselves
or to some
notion
that the
human condition
might improve
through their
actions
laudable
commendable
saint-worthy
no doubt
but if they
applied
such effort
such resources
silently
selflessly
to the problems
at hand
perhaps
those such
energies
would have
more
effect
and encourage
others
to simply
lend a hand
instead
of planning
some over the top
production
Brother Bollocks
hears of one
who plans
to skydive
onto the top
of Mount Everest
in order
to address
an issue
here
on the
ground
in the
United States
and wonders
what flag
he will place
upon that
distant
peak
