a sense of proportion.....
They seem to have all the guns,
Most of the guns in Britain are
British/American government property
Police property
Or the property of gentry-gangsters
Who are British/American government property.
Nobody I love has a gun. Not in Britain.
The rich are rich because they fuck people about.
They call it the Quality of Leadership
And they have special school-machines producing
Leaders to fuck people about.
People with guns
Tend to fuck other people about.
The people they tend to fuck about
Are people who don't have guns.
None of my friends has a machine-gun ready,
Let alone a tank.
A few yards ahead of us, a row of truncheons.
Behind the truncheons, rifles,
Behind the rifles, grenades,
Behind the grenades, machine-guns,
Behind the machine-guns, tanks,
Behind the tanks, bombs,
And behind the bombs - the rich.
The rich are as stupid as guns,
They will be killed with their own guns.
In every capital
The fucked about of the world are taking arms.
The people of the world
We are going to take it.
I posted this wonderful poem on the wall at school back in 1969. Nearly got expelled... wonder why!
