Tear gas A warning shout along the protest line Manned by disparate mix of commoners All hoping that for once Perseverance will overcome The power of unrelenting force. It was and ever will be A weapon of unconscionable cruelty Stealing away the victims right To see or simply breathe Discombobulating Indiscriminate. Brace yourselves brothers and sisters The assault will follow fast Batons, shields and rubber bullets Leaving their mark on unprotected flesh That last true bastion of right Against unbridled tyranny
