The New Tyranny

The new tyranny 

Smoke of anger
rises from the streets
A hunger
for equality
Demonstration, strikes
is the seen action
The authorities do nothing
wait for exhaustion
when the starving turns
fight each other
At that moment 
new laws introduced
that will
curtail the scant 
freedom people have
