Ideas

Water over the head 

Drowning in a sea of blood,

Sweat and tears, blurry vision,

A voice echoes in the chaos

Of screaming bodies, silent minds. 

Ideas do not die. 

People do. 

Ideas build societies. 

People break them. 

Ideas cause rebellion. 

People supress them. 

Ideas are loud, 

People silence them. 

But when enough is enough 

One idea multiplies into thousands,

The silence screams into deafening noise

Of resistance and protest;

A cause brings about a crowd 

That always hopes 

It can change the world.
