As the bass pounds through the headphones,
A man, a mission, one goal, many directions.
As the treble hits into the mega decibles,
One man, one mission and a goal in mind.

This barrier will not keep me back today,
I cannot be held back this time through.
This wall will inevitably be created,
I will not be held down or back away.

As the sound travels through time,
Striking the wall and reverberating.
As the echo sends its wail back,
Striking a million shaking fists.

The people begin to stand, revolt.
One million fists stand in the air.
The time has come for the rebellion.
One million people screaming in unison,

No.

very nice... lots of power

very powerful! and sometimes it really needs to happen......

I was reading this after I wrote it and I'm thinking of using it for a lyric, which is another weeks worth of writing.

Thanks for the comments! Much appreciated.

For some reason, this brings back memories to me of Kent State

The massacre? I'm only familiar with the little I've read on it, as it never involved student on student violence (which is an area I study avidly with school shootings) so I didn't look into it much. The protest held at Kent State as far as I've read was against the invasion of Cambodia during the Vietnam conflict, it would have held more success if it didn't turn into a riot. The problem with peace protests and marches is there are always a few rioters that ruin it for the others, I do agree with what they protested...some of them just took it too far (akin to the Rodney King riots, one of which I know a bit more about).

Again, I don't know much about the Kent State massacre so my opinion is kind of flimsy here.

Powerful write...

me likie

Thank you MsTeddy and toolheart.
