Shaved heads never made sense as a political statement nothing to shock ignorant bystanders with a clean skinhead look but that was just the point conservative right-wing we never understood they had a right to voice keen beliefs to keep with moderate policy our doves against their hawks
Maybe they liked to fight to hurt others to harm as sport or to threaten unkempt bastards like us who fit in with misfits actors artists poets social outcasts who formed bands to play our own songs against hatred and war exactly as we did so did they the soccer hooligans to anoint
Some rabid bolt to sing on their behalf to work them up to chant rejoice collectively in angst against losing their jobs to foreign elements understand racism was legalized years back hard to place that weapon morbidly in the grave but not all skinheads fought to keep blacks the lowest
Minority deprived of economic growth social parity floor under the glass ceiling the success of the rich baffled us all how do some people make it big old money makes puppets dance and speak for their cause ignorant of vast power dynamics we sang songs lacking intelligence central to our own form of agency as punks music was magick true key issues were at stake women's rights poverty all built into the laws
