Rain falls from where some denied it falls
\nWashed the streets over which protesters calls
\nEchos to where the water falls from:
\nFrom where politicians denied it’s from
\nAs they try to claim black is white
\nTry to claim water is not a human right
\nBut a commodity to be bought and sold:
\nThat it is not so today they are told!<\/p>\n

The West’s awake: The East is too
\nFrom all direction winds of change blow through
\nWhether they listen or not people have their say
\nUnder neath rain falling free from the sky in Tullamore today!
