Protest March in Oakland

Blue lights cops on bikes

uh-oh my bus diverted

Broadway closed off

 They always notice

when you take their photo,

Don't think they like it

 

 After all they are after some

 serious business

 An angry mob of protesters

heading this way

Wait a minute

this mob is travelling

rather close to the ground

 It's mainly kids

 Little kids who are sad

and confused by the state of society

 Nice kids

 Summer campers with 

their guardians

 Families with little ones

 What the Constitution refers to as

The People

 Good people

with good hearts

against the barbaric

 authoritarians

Women and children

Families and senior citizens 

putting themselves on the line

 Followed by a longer parade,

a show of police power

 First come the light weight 

motorcycles

in case the kids

break off into

Anarchist splinter groups

 Then the heavy motorcycles

Show those women and children

some muscle
(that's right I'm taking
 your picture, Robocop)

 Of course Chopper

made the scene

 Then the old symbolic standby 

The police cruiser

 Lots and lots of police criuisers

The cops never run out of gas

They got caught with their pants down

recently when a flash protest

wound up vandalizing 

police headquarters

and taking over the highway
