Change - Evan DePuy

Rioting, stealing, raping, shoving.
There are many ways to get a point across.
Violence can be used.
It doesn't create change,
but animosity.
If transformation is the goal,
try peaceful protest.
No one gets abused.
No one gets beaten.
No one gets hurt.
It is the way to a revolution,
and peace.

  1. Very niceeee.I like it but people did still get abused, beaten and hurt in peaceful protests, it just made a worse reputation and view of those who were doing the violence. But it definetly is the way to a revolution and peace.

  2. Evan, I agree with your stance on peaceful protest...I also agree with Katie about violence still being a part of peaceful protests, which is kind of the point. Not fighting the violence accentuates it. I like the punchy single words (like the first line) - no wasted words here.
