The Affectionate Anarchist (Writing Challenge)

The Affectionate Anarchist

He is loyal.
He is steadfast.
He is passionate, he is
The Affectionate Anarchist.

Cases, endless.
Defects, revealed.
He fights nonsensical laws.
He stands for all fallen victims.

Like a magnet,
Inspires thought,
Sparks brisk action near and far,
Opposing, protesting, striking.

Gaining notice,
Affecting change,
Challenging the usual,
Delighting in each victory.

For now we can
Juggle freely,
Play dominoes on Sundays,
Buy our peanuts after sunset.

We look to him with endearment.

He is loyal.
He is steadfast.
He is passionate, he is
The Affectionate Anarchist.

And we thank him.

Inspiration:
I was thinking about people who seem to always have a cause they are fighting for and that these causes are not always major or noble, but still important. I thought of all those inane and out-of-date laws that are still a part of so many country's and state’s laws, and does anyone work to get those changed?

For example and your amusement:
In Alabama dominoes can’t be played on Sundays. Bear wrestling matches are prohibited. Putting salt on a railroad track can be punishable by death. It is illegal to sell peanuts in Lee County after sunset on Wednesdays.

In Connecticut you can be stopped by the police for biking over 65 miles per hour. You aren’t allowed to cross the street while walking on your hands.

In Oregon juggling is strictly prohibited without a license. It’s illegal to walk down a sidewalk and knock a snake’s head off with your cane.
