RIGHT TO PROTEST by ZITA HOLBOURNE Poet & Activist

INCREASING THE FEES
TO OBTAIN FIRST DEGREES

STOPPING EMA

DISREGARDING WHAT WE SAY

SENDING BULLIES IN BLUE

TO BEAT CHILDREN BLACK AND BLUE

JUST FOR STANDING UP TO YOU

AND YOU’RE LYING CON-DEM CREW

DEMONISING THOSE YOU SEEK TO OPPRESS

COLLABORATING WITH THE RIGHT WING PRESS

TO SPIN A YARN OF VIOLENCE AND DESTRUCTION

CAUSED BY PROTESTORS WHEN IN FACT ON YOUR INSTRUCTION

THE POLICE ARE GUILTY OF THIS OFFENCE

AND NO ONE IS FOOLED BY YOUR PRETENCE

ATTACKING AND BRUTALISING

AGGRAVATING AND ANTAGONISING

TRYING TO SILENCE US THROUGH FEAR AND INTIMIDATION

NOT PREPARED FOR OUR STRENGTH AND DETERMINATION

NO ACT OF VIOLENCE CAN TAKE AWAY THE RIGHT TO PROTEST

UNTIL WE SEE JUSTICE WE SHALL NOT REST

EDUCATION IS NOT A PRIVILEGE FOR THE RICH

AND WHILST YOU SIT BACK TELLING US ‘LIFE’S A BITCH’

WE’LL BE IN YOUR FACE

AND ON YOUR CASE

REFUSING TO BE DRIVEN BACK

WHILST WE’RE UNDER ATTACK


THE RIGHT TO PROTEST IS A HUMAN RIGHT

SO WE’LL DO THE RIGHT THING AND KEEP UP THE FIGHT
