The Cavalry Riot

Inspired whilst watching the anime film Akira.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rubber licks the concrete

A bitter, drawn out kiss along the dirt

No grass

Only riot guards

Fixated behind their mirrored glasses

Plain sight hiding

Watching who passes

Only me

My friends

And our five metal steeds

Who pay no heed

To pigs in wolves clothing

As we glide we are blind

To the towers scraping skies

To the smiles spouting lies

To the signs

The badges

The mindless flies

Screaming stop

Or our helmet heads

Will be on chopping blocks

Still, we ride

Knights in leather jackets

Forming a crusade against commercialism

A fight against fascism

A massacre on the modern world

With anarchy symbols painted on our shields

And we yield for nothing less

Than the freedom

To fuck shit up
