Literature Text

I'd scream at the top of
my lungs if I felt it would
make any difference,

but knowing that it
absolutely would not

I sit quietly and
keep my mouth shut,

knowing that if I were
to speak my mind--

never would truer
words be spoken

or uttered more ardently,

from the passion
that lays dormant
within.

Where I am
and where I'm
headed

are no longer
your concern

and that high
horse you
sit upon--

that pedestal
you've forged
that gives you
this false sense
of moral high ground

is bound to fall
eventually.
Liar, I know all the places you've been.

It's like watching people build their own towers of babel.
