How To Make Yourself Heard

Wednesday, February 14, 1996 - 11:00

When you first begin to feel The disquiet you can't explain Discontent or sorrow; Anger — subversive inclinations; The thirst for some kind of justice! Personal, legal SOCIAL? — Heed it.
Take note, Encourage it And let it grow — It is power. Find the words to tell it — YELL! Feed it like an angry rose.
If you prefer,
Shine it. Sharpen it The way you would If you were fashioning A spear from diamond.
Less aesthetic, But perhaps more practical — Spray your thoughts across a wall.
Voice your agonies with paint Or crayons dark Late at night With your only company The cats. ... Alex Middleton
