RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WORLD DEMOCRACY
The Hooligan Riot
They came together in Dublin
The hooligan fringe of the right
O’Grady, O’Reilly and Finnegan
They were bursting to start a fight
So they used the attack of a madman
To run up the flag of hate
They fueled a riot with mayhem
The facts came out far too late
They burned what they could not bash
They bashed what they could not burn
As the flames turned slowly to ash
There were lessons for Dublin to learn
You are not immune to the madness
That is driving all of Europe insane
With a hatred that all should detest
And a willingness to inflict pain
It is time to strengthen the walls
That protect institutions of state
For a democracy may well fall
If our fears become too great
