Political Unrest

The people declaring their voice, as they protest
Induring the ultimate test
The police attack and the people scatter
Hardly anyone says "What is the matter?"

Facing dire consequences, the citizens persist
Human rights in the balance and worth the risk
Perhaps a change will come and abuses will desist
