It's A Riot
I want a new computer?
What better price to buy at – a
mouse, a screen, a router,
a printer that runs quieter.
I think I’ll be a looter,
or, failing that, a rioter.
The state is parasitical?
‘Policemen take on ten of me’?
You think the world is critical
and capital its enemy.
But I, not so political,
steal citrus (waxed and lemony).
I’ll follow any mob along
if it’s for the common goods:
a dongle, maybe from Hong Kong,
a set of Christmas puds.
While you consider right or wrong
I’m after parka hoods.
Consider this: a hammer, a
device to break or else create,
an implement with glamour, a
means to mar or meditate …
nah, hand me down a camera.
Consumer riots: ain’t they great?
