Protesting The Moment

Protesting The Moment Illuminating the night by the light of a bonfire Captivating the insight before one’s mind begins to tire Emigrating out of fright as one’s own government becomes a liar Abdicating all your rights as they burn your life upon the pyre Procession of a line for food that western lives refuse to see Intercession of a brooding mood that cannot just let it be Regressions of emotion that seem to conclude as they’re pleading for their dreams Confessions of the hungry brood as they’re longing to be set free Mortification at the living standards of the new elite Fortification of the mind that’s lagging behind and dragging its existential feet Unco-ordination of the refined lauding over the times at the banal meet and greet Insubordination of the oppressed as they will not admit defeat Protestation of a single cause that someone wants to shed light on Congregation of the grand applause as they continue to coalesce and fight from Altercation that needs to be paused as the twisted take strange delight upon Amputation of the limb that’s soaked in gin as it all lingers a little too long Unbelievable passages of time that evade fate Inconceivable ravages of decline that simply will not wait Irretrievable messages inclined to make the population subjugate To imperceivable sentences refined to ensure the next topic to debate The End copyright Elizabeth Moroz
