The Riot.
Surrounded by unaffordable commodities,
offered illusion as reality,
pushed to pursue the latest
worthless fashion fetish
the individual walks in anger;
trapped by perfect symbols
of a corrupt capitalist system,
everything for sale,
anything can be bought,
including human dignity.
Haunted by the spectre of counter attack
by the many, by the dispossessed,
the power brokers of the system, push
for social controls that leave us
powerless to express our desire
to be alive,
they struggle with stealth and raw power
to silence the cries of the excluded;
their success will last
as long as the many fear
the power, freedom has to offer.
