Economic justice<\/em><\/div>\n
Will not be televised<\/em><\/div>\n
It will not be delivered<\/em><\/div>\n
Like a fast food dinner<\/em><\/div>\n
By white men<\/em><\/div>\n
Using black economists<\/em><\/div>\n
To front for them.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Economic justice<\/em><\/div>\n
Will not be televised<\/em><\/div>\n
It will not be delivered<\/em><\/div>\n
By VAT zero-ratings<\/em><\/div>\n
That benefit the rich<\/em><\/div>\n
More than the poor.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Economic justice<\/em><\/div>\n
Will not be televised<\/em><\/div>\n
It will not be delivered<\/em><\/div>\n
Like fast food transported by exploited workers<\/em><\/div>\n
By commissioned research<\/em><\/div>\n
Elevating the status of a few white men<\/em><\/div>\n
Using black economists<\/em><\/div>\n
To front for them.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Economic justice<\/em><\/div>\n
Will not be televised<\/em><\/div>\n
It will not be brought to you<\/em><\/div>\n
Like a hot take<\/em><\/div>\n
By the tentacles of institutes<\/em><\/div>\n
Wrapped around civil society initiatives<\/em><\/div>\n
To promote themselves.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Economic justice<\/em><\/div>\n
Will not be televised<\/em><\/div>\n
It will not be delivered<\/em><\/div>\n
Cold<\/em><\/div>\n
Like emailed interventions<\/em><\/div>\n
To protect sexual harassers.<\/em><\/div>\n

Economic justice<\/em><\/div>\n
Will not be televised<\/em><\/div>\n
It will not be brought to you<\/em><\/div>\n
By men<\/em><\/div>\n
Defending sex \u2018not consensual\u2019.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Economic justice<\/em><\/div>\n
Will not be televised<\/em><\/div>\n
It will not be delivered<\/em><\/div>\n
By the festivities<\/em><\/div>\n
Of ideological cliques<\/em><\/div>\n
Shouting about reform.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Economic justice<\/em><\/div>\n
Will not be televised.<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
