CHAPTER 181 More and more, they'll work in gangs,
2 Just like you,
3 aBecause the gang is their protection,
4 And their camouflage too,
5 bBecause when the gang goes to work,
6 What people remember is the gang,
7 cAnd what a powerful irresistible force it was,
8 And nothing else,
9 dBecause a gang isn't made of individuals,
10 eBut anonymous followers instead.
CHAPTER 191 But their gangs won't look like yours,
2 And they won't use the same weapons,
3 Because they have better ones,
4 And when they roll out to exact their vengeance, they'll hit the enemy with everything they've got,
5 Which includes everything funder the sun,
6 Including glaws,
7 And hbooks,
8 And itelevision shows,
9 And jmovies,
10 And kpoliticians,
11 And lcorporations,
12 And mgovernments,
13 And the ncops,
14 And absolutely anything and everything that has any power to get them what they want,
15 No matter who gets hurt.
CHAPTER 201 Now, maybe you're so stupid that you're saying, "So what?

2 "Why should we care?"
3 But I wouldn't be telling you this if it wasn't important,
4 Because oI am a Kensingtonian myself,
5 pOnly from some other city,
6 And I have come to give you fair warning,
7 And tell you about the only alternatives you have,
8 qBecause it's all right for Kensingtonians to be Kensingtonians,
9 But it's going to cause some problems when everybody in the whole country is a Kensingtonian,
10 Especially for you.
CHAPTER 211 They used to know that they needed you,
2 rBecause it was their job to build things,
3 sWhile you carried the bricks on the days you were sober,
4 tAnd it was their job to run things,
5 uWhile you ran errands if you weren't in jail,
6 vAnd it was their job to keep things clean and in good repair,
7 wWhile you drove the garbage trucks unless your hand was busted again.
8 xAnd so, while you complained and got drunk and smashed things that got in your way, it was their job to keep everything more or less under control,
9 yWhich they were pretty good at,
10 zBecause they always seemed to know how to keep from losing their temper and going psycho when some little thing didn't work out just like they wanted,
