Brilliant, a very clever modern update on Martin Neimoller's warnings about the Nazis. It's so depressing that every generation has to keep reasserting the right to a fair egalitarian society.
Muldoon has dancing Cossacks. He gave us a superannuation scheme that turned NZ into a borrower nation instead of a lender like Singapore/ Canada and other countries that have contributory pension schemes like the one Kirk put in place in 1973
Where we the peasantry stood around like stunned mullets because we forgot how to fight.
Time to take some lessons from Ghandi me thinks

Where only the wealthy are allowed to own a house (or 8)
8's the minimum to join the club.
Brian Tamaki’s thugs are just waiting for their commands.
Will we see Massey’s Cossacks riding again?

This brings some tears, but also the feeling, "We are not going to stand for this anymore. Thanks Leonard."
Thanks James.
My pleasure. Here’s me channeling the master. Needs polishing but hey, straight off the bat. Here we go:
Aotearoa: Land of the Long Dark Night
The night came, cold again,
Hunger held my hand,
Deep inside I knew damn well,
There would be no mercy from the man.
Christian values held up high,
They somehow missed me when I cried.
Here today, gone tomorrow,
Another life discounted by sorrow.
The man gets richer, his power grows.
He has no use for those below.
There’s no hand out, there’s no hand up,
Just an angry response because I won’t shut up.
My voice is loud, my soul proud,
To bloody hell with the rich man’s crowd.
And yes, my cuts and bruises might be stinging,
But I can promise one thing,
Fuck the bastards I’m going down swinging.
Ends.
