Array ( [sid] => 166961 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The panic [time] => 2011-08-10 05:43:49 [hometext] => RIots in Liverpool [bodytext] => The panic

Due to all the violence
The nation has gone into panic mode
Lockdown in the city at 8pm, now 6pm
Fear for homes and property
Public meetings hurriedly arranged in halls
Imminent disorder forecast for all

Why are we cowed downing to these fools?
Who makes the rules?
Sensibility out the window
Panic has begun
Lock yourself in and pray
Is the order of the day
They seem to be winning
The violence is spreading
We must relax and act sensibly
Say no, I will not re-act
The panic will cease
If we don’t feed it fuel

That was yesterday’s thoughts, this is last night
They continued to riot
The mindless children and youths
They smash in stores, burnt cars
Tomorrow they have no where to buy there fags and booze
You destroy your own area and it becomes a ghost town
Empty and run down
Helicopter patrols all night long
No sleep for you tonight
No sleep, no shops, no reason for this madness
The panic has taken you
Stop please before we all turn and panic

it's impossible to speak reason at times like this. Too many people rejoice in vandalism and violence, or revenge. There always has to be a reason for this and there are no end of people who think they have the answer. I think that there are lots of reasons including satisfying the childish need for adventure, the thrill of getting away with previously impossible actions, the power of fear in people who have no self-esteem beyond waddling along holding their bollocks wearing a bandana round their face.
horrible situation.

Well done. I was just wondering what it's all about. I saw a glance on the news.
Blessings,
