Speak poet word

See the people in the moody scenes

Their neighbours jostling with tears

Ukrainian streets Yemeni streets

Broken like bread under a heavy knife

A clean sparkling blade shining like

The teeth of a great white shark

Sharks in suits and khaki, dressed

To kill anyone who thinks or speaks

Out against the will of power

The people live in the street

The sharks live in the nations of power
