After Riots

Poet Laureate | 20.08.2011 10:49 | South Coast | World

voice of the voiceless
screams
among flames

now
voice of the voiceless
screams
among flames
of buildings
blazing with
anger…
night haunted
by victims dead
by state
butchery…
now, a
time to go
among predatory
shadows
of capitalism…
police violence
breeds violence…
between
condone and condemn
understanding
trembles like a frightened
child
overshadowed
by
state intrinsic evil…

Indymedia is not for vanity publishing of poems...

I'm biased because I don't like poems anyway, but it every person published their personal doggerel on here we'd never find the news...

Come on, Indymedia is for news articles, not things like this. Start a blog if you want to publish your poems online.

He exclaimed, "its not my fault, i can't thinky"
