Orange Protest
‘JUST TOP
SOIL’ on orange T shirts; two fans
At the Ashes
Test cocking a snook
At those
match disrupters trying to look
Progressive,
but ill-conceived, naïve plans
To be
unsporting are easily foiled
And only
provoke public annoyance
Rather than helping
the cause to advance,
The wheels
of reaction are too well oiled.
Protest
brings headlines, but not policy,
Action
leading to inaction, a schism
Obscuring
how it’s capitalism
Frustrates
reformers whoever they be.
Neither
slogans nor satire can arrange
Circumstances
to bring radical change.
D. A.
