2026-05-18 – If You Go On the Streets

Support the oppressed
Marching abreast
And you’ll insult the tyrants
Who shout their defiance.

Hoisting a placard
Is deemed a jihad.
For quoting the law
You’ll be thrown out the door.

Rebuking a nation
Invites a conflation
Of Government’s chiefs
And a set of beliefs.

If you go on the street
And are not too discreet
You will earn yourself leisure
At His Majesty’s pleasure.
