If Symptoms of Strike Persists. . .
The wait has been hard, on and on,
The weight has weakened the strong,
The bait has got three prong,
If symptoms of strike persists.
The fate of students toyed upon,
The faith of parents wore on,
The gate of boredom opens on,
If symptoms of strike persist on.
It is for your good, say they,
But while we are held sway,
Our birthright at their feet lay,
If symptoms of strike persists, hey!
The fight has been tough, strong the wail,
What do we today?
While the sun shines, make hay?
If symptoms of strike persists.
These few months ago,
Many a student the wrong way go,
Surrogate, emergency parents now I know,
If symptoms of strike persists, no?
Students’ spirits at an all time low,
Looking for jobs with pay so low,
To survive the struggle with ways we know,
If symptoms of strike persists.
The warring parties sit and meet?
Deadlock results they come out with,
My fellow students, colleagues, will ye sit?
If symptoms of strike persists,
Will ye, won’t ye take to the streets?
