It's a riot

Smashing and burning
and looting and storming.
Charging around
and breaking into the Pound
Shop to steal
useless things with no real
value. The mob is making its feelings clear
and armed police in riot gear
are fighting back.
Society’s cracked.
And no-one hears a small
voice in the darkness among it all

crying ‘help!’

August 2011
