Sniff

Calm.    Watch.   Sniff. 
We are dogs
with runny noses yet tongues sealed
as we detect the unjust stamp on our rights
and still, 
 tie our tongues and breathe in hurtful words
Where's the relieve?
Where are the seeds? 
Why suck in talent?
Why sniff in evil and still oppose our instincts? 
Why not let this runny nose unravel the underwear of hypocrisy?
Sniff in
Sniff out
the accursed lies and tales of doom.
And now,
spread out
the mucus of truth and stench of liberty
