Poem: The Tactics of Our AnticsBy Liz Darcy Jones
Let us be Up Rising!Create a mighty swell:Our words are magnetisingthey say ‘Wake up! Rebel!We’ll get up and we’ll stand up
for those who don’t or can’t
and if you’re not for marching
then find some trees and plant!
Let us be Up Rising!Create a mighty swell:Our words are magnetisingthey say ‘Wake up! Rebel!we will not stoop to fight or harm
but mischief-make with glee
‘til songs and chants and mass arrests
and our solidarity
wake up those in denial
and rouse the ones who sleep
‘til all can see we’ve got to change
adapt and make it deep!
Let us be Up Rising!Create a mighty swell:Our words are magnetisingthey say ‘Wake up! Rebel!If we can challenge and rise up
and rock the status quo
whilst keeping our hearts open
there’s just a chance we’ll show
revolting rigid concepts
(born of power or greed)
hold far more threat than you or I:
let fierce love be our creed
Let us be Up Rising!Create a mighty swell:Our words are magnetisingthey say ‘Wake up! Rebel!
