And we come to day 16…

In the Crowd

 

Voices

all around, screaming

Voices

harsh, angry, spitting venom

Voices

spouting opinions, not truth

Voices

taking sides, making factions

Voices

shrieking for blood, for action

Voices

ahead of the mob

Voices

burning down the house…

 

until there are no more

Voices
