The right column
Satan rules the roost
Another strike
Threat looms.
No, not by the Unions.
By the mafia, I mean.
Which mafia?
The one that lords over
Private passenger
Transport.
Strangely, it's the
Owners
Not the employees
Who wield the
Strike weapon.
"Owners of the
World Unite!
You have nothing
To lose
But your profits!
What irritates
The mafia?
Police action on
Imposing fines
On errant drivers.
So they threaten
A strike
To get the law
Repealed
Or make it
Inoperative.
Is it possible?
Yes, there is
A precedent.
Have you heard
Any such thing?
Anywhere else?
Offenders
Punishing the law
Instead of the law
Punishing offenders.
Yes, this is
The Island
Of Serendipity.
Anything is possible
Here
Where Satan
Rules the roost.
Criminals could
Take a clue.
Rapists should demand
Compensation from
Victims.
Killers should demand
Hanging corpses
Of their make.
Tax defaulters
Could sue
Commissioner General
Inland Revenue
Those who defame
Could demand
Impunity.
The paparazzis could
Have a field day.
Plagiarists
Would dance
On the tombs
Of authors.
Honesty would
Earn a reprimand.
The corrupt could
Win awards.
Burglary will
Be a birthright.
Plaintiffs would
Be punished
Defendants
Exonerated
Judges sentenced
Litigants placed
On the Bench
The Sun
Would
Illuminate
The night
And
The Moon
The day
Darkness
At noon
Bright Sun
At midnight
Falsehood would
Reign
In Heaven
Truth
Doomed
To Hell
