The most lively social movement in the world now is the cockroach movement of India’s youth. They have co-opted the characterization of unemployed youth as cockroaches by the Indian regime and started their own cockroach political party and have hit the streets with searingly funny and satirical protests. Here is a commentary from Democracy Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here is a poem cheering on their movement:<\/p>\n

Cockroach Democracy \u2013 Owed to India\u2019s Youth Movement<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Sum wear ails
\nThen the pillars of democracy pilloried
\nYouth-like
\nCockroaches
\nSerfing ancient farces
\nThrive off
\nThe glue of cardboard kingdoms
\nBoxing us
\nIn
\nAnd out of the wring
\nSow flyweight
\nTaking on super heavy waits
\nIn a KO to OK
\nIn bare assing the reigning chumps
\nNaked truth in flash mobs
\nMore than bugging
\nAs know kings sweating it
\nAs cockroaches show up
\nAt high noon<\/p>\n
