Silent Dissidence

by Adam Levon Brown / December 4th, 2016

There are no bastions
for radicals

Driven down, beat up,
Spit on, ignored

There is no great salvation
for radicals

Exhaustion, tear after
tear after salty tear

There is no room
for radical discourse

Respect, conform,
get a job, shut up

There is no savior
for the radical

Jesus was a gun toting
American Nationalist

There is no voice
for the radical

Megaphones on either side
of the head, blasting rhetoric

There are no Molotov
voices left, only watered down
propaganda

There are no bastions
for radicals
