what was it?

what was it-
a provocation
against the Grand Nation?

what was it-
a protest,
messed
with the rest
who are distressed
with the obsessed?

what was it-
a riot,
disquiet
because of the desire
to acquire
wildfire
before one could get
a good qualifier
to fetch a strong pacifier?

what was it-
a new show,
provoked by the flow
of emotions,
so low,
that they were maddening
on the go?

what was it-
a strike
against the disliked
in the form of a delinquency,
warlike?

what was it -
an attempt
of an overthrow?
a blow,
that resulted into
a game show
of detestation
of the democratic nation?

many should re-read
the Independence Proclamation
to realize
what kind
of the Nation
is this one
in relation
to the world-wide
aspiration.
