Poem: "Demonstrate to win friends"

 A demonstration should
be respectful enough

for the common person
to understand the meat of the issue.

don't leave us on the floor
swimming in confusion;

Let us understand
and observe for ourselves.

Poem: "Sharks and Privilege"

 Sharks are predators,
so it follows that they have privileges.

No one likes a predator
because of the freedoms they deny others.

No shark fears travel,
and I never saw a shark cower.

But guess how the other fish feel;
can you name a freedom they have lost?

Placed in an acquarium,
a shark finally sees
everything differently.
