I’m sorry,
what part of ‘revolution’
made you think of common sense?
The bourgeoisie sees no reason
in reparations and recompense.
Oh? You’d like the protests outside the summer season?
Fuck you, change only exists in the present tense.
Oh? The activists are annoying?
Perhaps they should go back to being useless and cloying?
You need to understand:
when it comes to the people v. pollution,
we are the children of the counter-revolution.
Beset with powder and orange paint lashes,
annoy a Brit, and you get a fossil fascist.
Our connections with that black liquid gold,
is long, storied with blood, and old.
Violence seeps out of every pore.
The world burns alive, the oil giants say ‘more’.
Activists strive to cut the ties,
people quibble over their action’s execution.
And whilst the Global Majority dies,
people call for JSO’s execution.
All around, reactionary toads
unable to get SUVs down the road
showed their true face and called for state sanctioned death.
This will carry on till there’s nothing left,
till the last sea is bereft of water.
‘Could’ve, should’ve, would’ve, we oughta-’
Here’s an idea, how about you just can it?
And learn, there’s no second chances on a dying planet.
Look at you, shedding tears
at a social murders wedding.
A bit of orange paper, now Osborne’s a martyr.
Don’t get lost in your Tory ardour,
just be glad they didn’t hit him with something harder.
You can play at being apalled,
but it seems you might all
just be a little fickle.
They targeted a politician, your complaints quickened -
you can hardly be stricken dead by confetti,
but here you are, saying you’re so sickened.
Just do us a favour and admit it,
you played and lost at a game of ‘cunt chicken’.
