[Excerpt from "Battle Royale"]
Harvested. Nestled. Contrary.
Why deny this calling?
Continue to predict and conclude
matters and factors beyond the noise.
The essence of reality is a construction not a recording.
With blank stares, witness passively the drip-by-drip
eroding our foundation and livelihood without closing it shut.
With action we'll speak the loudest voice.
Damn this perpetual flow of belittling and silencing.
A wall of cries
to break the fallacy of complacency
to shut,
to stand,
to break it down.
