Unseen forces are at play,
Sending rioters to display
Racial intolerance as a right to say,
Acts of violence is their part to play.
Is it right or is it wrong?
That a person’ action has ‘justly’ won .
Mob reactions who feel so strong
About destroying the work that is now undone.
Who is safe and who is not?
The boiling pot stoked hard and is seething hot,
Where hatred rages and cannot be stopped
Because the ignorant rioters fail to understand what they have now lost.
So, from sunny Southport where it all began
To Birmingham , Liverpool and Aldershot
Manchester, Belfast and Hartlepool
Doncaster, London and Newcastle
The rioters will feel the ripple effect of what they have done.
