I am not sure what it's called... something to do with nonviolence I suppose. Critiques of all sorts are welcome :] if you'd like me to critique one of your poem/short stories in return, you can include the link and i'll be overjoyed to. ^^


biting back,
not fighting back--
the words speak for themselves but you do not
as your mind stumbles over speeches delivered
by the greatest:
MLK, Gandhi, Nelson Mandela
nonviolently vicious
chewing at stitches
lapping openly at the sore.
but they were giants, towering
so high you could not
look them in the eyes
singing so loud and proud your thoughts
slink back up your tongue to the cave
where they were born and bred.
there is no point to speak, for there is no point to hear--
what's to be said has been said
and in the resulting thinking's stead
is but sullen talk of the glittery and infamous.
You have these things
that need to be screamed
that need to be whispered
that need to be known
but yet you're alone
and the crowd hesitates to group around you;
for you have these things to say,
and they need to be said today;
it is important, and that is frightening.
