the new oppression

Submitted by ty gorton on June 19, 2008, 11:40pm.

i'm curious

how dropping calm response

to mad signs of probable doom

is feasible,

even as we embrace some kind of truce

with the inevitable.

aren't we capable

of more sound than this?

our inaudible disgust

will become the shrieking historical record

others will peruse with shock and terror,

exclaiming their disbelief

at our silent meanderings through the most innovative oppression in the history of mankind.
