Desperate Cry

In saying nothing
I’ve said all,
in truth my silence lies.

I’m not hiding,
I stand tall,
consent and dissent my allies.                    

In time they’ll understand,
for now, it suffices to say:

       Nothing
              Loudly,

so that the whole world can hear.

                                                      (   8th Placement in Rob Carmack's Polarity Contest)
