Scott Olsen Speaks Again: the #Occupation Rejoices (a poem)

To Scott Olsen, Marine, 

Veteran of the Oakland Occupation

Standing straight, saluting, sometimes smiling  --  Spirit shining

Courage creating choice, choosing clarity, certain, calm 

Offers one opportunity, obvious over others:

To take the time to teach things thorough

To tell the teachers to teach the truth

O #OccupyOakland, obstinate, outspoken 

Learning, living, laughing, loving

Successes surely seem

Effective, even earned,

Now
