I Threw My Brick Through Their Windshield

August 27, 2015 Ron Whitehead Poetry 0

Tweet

By Ron Whitehead

i was 25 years old when
i made a personal vow
to become a non-violent …
spiritual warrior

one sweaty hot
georgetown kentucky summer night
when i was 20 years old
my friend david minton ran into
the pool room bloody beaten yelling
we all turned and together said
what the hell
david said a car load
of townies beat me up
i said let’s go
what are they driving
i asked as i picked up a brick
a rusted red camaro
he said here it comes
loud muffler belching
going too fast
i stepped into the street

i threw my brick through their windshield
