NON-VIOLENT AUSTIN

Consider our Buddhist beggars-
friendly,genial,pleasant-panhandling
arrested for their status of poverty

Our bank robbers come in disguise
Most ask for money without menacing with weapons
Given it,they flee-on bicycle or foot(poverty!

One man comes with a gun to our Capitol
but even he only fires it into the air
Resulting in SECURITY stressing everyone who comes
apart from those with licenses for concealed weapons

Another enters UT's Library as a student
He fires into the ground-hurts no one except himself
All the stress is caused by excessive SWAT response

Same with our Guy Fawkes arsonist
who firebombed our Governor's Mansion
Now it has more alarms than Fort Know
and our Governor lives high in a Mansion!

Blame the fluoride in our water supply
Most of our violence supplied by our police
who taser ,harass,violate civil rights,and kill
Our Police Monitor quite useless.Violence is not Austin-
it is imported by drug lords and officers
who see a soft city and want it
but do not understand this Velvet Coffin...
67 homeless dead on Austin Streets each year
