At the WEF with S11
(in 3 parts)


The Slogans Said
(1)


Globalise love
ride a bicycle
green extremist
eco-cide and genocide/demand enviro-justice
WEF criminals
clown casino
Richard Court red-handed
world exploitation forum
earth care / fair share / people care
our world is not for sale
worker's rights - human rights
capitalism killing the planet/killing people
private gain/public poverty
feed the poor/eat the rich
cancel the debt
the dollar need not be the bottom line
it is not inevitable we become like them

To the WTO (2)

And the people / smiling faces everywhere
savage drumming sessions / silent satircal theatre
eco ferals / black hand ferals / next-door-neighbour
ferals / love ferals / fluro green hair / pink hair
plumb hair / carrot hair

hordes of wind-blown scruffy demonstrators
invade South Bank Cafeteria, to drink coffee

at Trades Hall
the Irish are wearing Bobby Sands T shirts
marching with unionists down Swanston Street
wearing a great-coat - Ned Kelly in full armour
beside the Revolutionary People's Liberation
Party Front all the way from Turkey

surveillance helicopters hover 24 hours a day
watching people and bicycles with paniers
tumbling over with flowers

finally Senator Bob Brown on stage
points to the casino, "the tower of Babel" he said
"full of exploiters and plutocrats in their tower
of self interest - and we, the sea of humanity"
