what is clear riot
What is clear (riot)
I saw the working-class riot on TV
it was there when workers attacked the police
who are working class themselves, or was
angrily demonstrated against the influx of Moslems
changing the streets and of their culture
fanatic Islamists
performing street prayers to stop traffic
I have read that jobs for offer lately have gone
to incomers who work for less and that
is a recipe for disaster
the sitting government, which is called the Labor party
didn't try to calm the situation but brought in
heavy-handed sentences to the offender of
the public order stiff sentences, which indicate
that democracy, always a precarious child
the first to suffer.
The press, whether radio, papers was firmly
on the side of the middle class whose life was
not interrupted, their jobs were secure for now,
why show solidarity, that manager with fancy
job title who don't know if they are gay or not
and
respect women so much they will not them
in case of a backlash, she could complain the day
For now, they are secure, but with AI on the marsh
their precious little titles redundant, what will
will come next?
The only remedy I can suggest is that we pay our
workers, yet demand skill, rely less on technical
solution and understand if we replace humanity
we eradicate ourselves
