Silencing Other Voices

In a process of darkness
power to the strong
silencing other voices
those who would do them harm

Ceasing the ground
the air of this time, this culture
seeking to silence
those who would defy them

Making hay, while the ground is dry
headway, reversing their gains
power in their hands
the others submissive
without other voices
at the mercy of their tormentors
