Wrote this poem a couple months ago and no one so far has gotten the references...

ALMOST EVERY NIGHT

I wonder what’s happening tonight

I wonder what’s happening tonight

Are the rebels putting up a good fight

Are they screaming into the dark night

Is somebody feeling the pain

Do they wish they’d not screamed out the name

Would she lie for the brunt of the blame

Or a shout, a push, tail-turn, then fame

I wonder what’s happening tonight

I wonder what’s happening tonight

Are the protestors left, doing right

Putting back up what’s left of the fight

Are the cops smashing down the oppressed

Are they confident their ways are best

Has the one who began it confessed

Does he think that she’s being a pest

Is there hatred and ill will

Is curfew only in films

I wonder if it happens until

they all hope that it’s happening still

Is there a one lane bridge around here

Are they fed on lies and fear

Is the end of this fight drawing near

Isn’t life elementary, dear

I wonder what’s happening here

I wonder what’s happening here

Would my best comrade teach me to shout

Would an oracle dream help me out

Is in their minds a shadow of doubt

And how many want a cop out?

Well there's loads of Rush references in there that are pretty obvious...if you posted this on a non-Rush board then it's hardly surprising no one would have got them.

My parents didn't get it. My English teacher didn't get it. My Rush-obsessed brother didn't even get it. So I posted the poem here.
