Justice, equality, and respect for all
A yarn spun to beguile the simpletons
When people stand up and demand their share
A curfew is clamped and they’re told to stand down
Why?
Is this real?
The words come easy, but no action to back them up
Empty rhetoric, meaningless slogans carry no impact
And in panic they press the button, quell the protests
Use whatever means, just make them go home
Soon it will be your turn
So think out and exit strategy for that time!
In response to the following prompts;
YDWP;
3TC;
FOWC;
RDP;
Word of the day challenge;
