The Ask

 They came to march to assault your eyes

with that same old symbol--

both a cross, and not. 

They walk the streets bare headed now--

openly now to defy

the safety and morality you've still got. 

Their flag you know, and their minds

would not surprise you

with new and inviting temptations.

We've heard these words and know

their kind--they represent

societal desecration. 

So here's the deal, stand fast

fill the street. The ask is that they do not meet

with frightened eyes but defiance,

Their reliance is on fear and they 

will take it and feed--

the task is to say no to fear.

The next course is blood. 

Will you refuse to bleed?
