Fists Clenched in Slogans

    His plaintive cry pierced the air
       pleading to travel somewhere

    Sympathizers marched in a faraway square
       their fists clenched in slogans
  
    As he bled to death slowly
       ~ in the presence of no one

Since I'm no good at solving puzzles, I was hoping you might help me, Hilda.
