Graffiti says
Evade fares
Burn capital
The capital city of Chile burns
Because fare evasion is only fair
Other cities burn too
Some might say it’s only right to riot
When people can’t afford to live anymore
The cost of living keeps climbing
But who put life behind a paywall?
It took some school kids to say
Let’s crash the gates
People are losing their lives
As markets burn
Soldiers are in the streets again
Colonization is the looting of a continent
What is life and land worth exactly?
Maybe worth fighting for

“I have to wonder why
The cost of living is so high
When the price of life is so cheap”
– Ignition, Lucky Thirteen, 1988
