When activists challenge Powers
Before Milords who're perching High
No one thinks it fit to ask them
"Why do you keep doing this? Why?"
The Powers are high on confidence
Experienced Milords won't interfere
After all, they have duly been sworn
To decide without any favour or fear
So activists invariably get nothing
Except a lot of media coverage
Motivating them to appeal higher
Hoping to get better luck and leverage
In Appeal the wiser Milords decide
They will consider everyone's say
But till then the Powers can exercise
As there is no question of any stay!
Aggrieved activists then go higher
Alleging that something is amiss
And are surprised when Milords say
