The man in the tie said
"We play a game,
we must see how far we can push"
The man with the dreads said
"You play with lives,
and I will stand til death"
The man with the tie laughed,
he knew a bluff when he saw it.
The man with the dreads stood.
There was blood.
Author notes
So I also wanted to do something like 'The man with the tie laughed, it was not something he would do himself" and then do something on that theme, but I can't work out how to weave that in but keep it short.
I know, the man, so clique, and yet there is still the suit who doesn't care about how the protesters are treated so long as the media protray it in their favour. Yay happy valley protestors, you rock my socks.
