Is Bangkok burning?



Is Bangkok burning?

They say 'tis the Land of Smiles

They say democracy's bright and shine
They say City of Angel's in full bloom

Deniers are all but condemned for doom


Peasants plead to vote for their leaders

Elites claim to be automatic rulers

Outbackers voice 'tis not democracy

Towners insist that the case must be


So . . . here comes a crowd with firecrackers

Elite oligarch responds with sure-shot snipers

Tanks, troops pour into street with ablazin' guns

Boomtown massacre starts as thousands run


Anarchy rules amidst tyre blazes, torch of wood

Crude missiles outgunned by cold-blooded shoots

All around: shrieks, screams, fleeing, dead and dying

What happens to my town? Is Bangkok burning?
