All things considered,
This matter of protesting,
Is only an awakening.

No experiencer who does not want
To awaken,
Will, or, can ever protest.

However, there is a catch,
In the action of protest.
The protest must be, alike, a dependable thinker.

Is conflict overcome by protest?
Protest entails effort, struggle,
Creative intelligence.

All things considered,
This matter of protesting,
Is a kind of an awakening.

No experiencer who does not want
To awaken,
Will, or, can ever protest.
