Silent Riot

Quickening in pace.
Louder. Louder.
No end in sight.
Louder still.
Crawling.
Misanthropic, gifts from hell.
Catastrophic, but meaning well.
Louder.
Louder still.
Still.
Stillness.
Silent.
Where have all the lights gone?
Where are all the stars?
I can't place it. Something's wrong.
Why don't I see the cars?
Bathed in silence.
Bask in the sun that isn't there.
Unquestioned ignorance.
The lack of life bring no despair.
Silent.
Noise.
A silent noise befalls the nation.
Louder. Louder. Instigation.
A peaceful riot in the nation.
Quiet. Quiet. Deprevation.
RIOT
RIOT
A riot befalls the nation.
Silent in design.
A peaceful instigation.
RIOT
RIOT
Riot for creation.
Peaceful, not submissive.
A silent confrontation.
Silence
Silence
[Silence]
Silencing the nation.
Using drugs, conditioning,
Quell the usurpation.
[Riot]
[Riot]
The riot will not end.
Not 'til the stars are seen.
The pariah will descend,
And lead the unclean.
[reject]
[reject]
Riot for the rights of the masses.
Silent yet indestructable.
Riot in defiance of classes.
Total, unconditional.
Surrender.
Surrender.
[surrender]
Surrender to the masses.
Give us back our stars.
Crucify your egos.
Give us what's rightly ours.

"crucify our egos" for sure...Sweet line.. I like this poem... When you kept saying "Silence, silence", and then (silence) like your asking for it to be silent, and it happens... Bounty is right... its better read out loud.. good job on this.
