Has man no hand in it,

Who solely responsible?

Why it all,
Has it to happen

Are they racists or anti-racists,
Who,
Who are they?
And how long,
How long,
Will they,
Will they go
Continuing
With their vandalism?

In the name of protest
And anarchy
They are spreading.
Can these be called protests
And movements?
Is to break, soil and run,
Burn and flee,
Topple the monuments,
Their job?
