The medium is chaos.

To speak,

even to speak clearly,

is to

add to the noise.

When the ears of the speakers do not even hear

the words of their own voices.

There is a frenzy

to increase the clamor.

To fuel the fire.

The agents of destruction

are furious to precipitate.

a fall

which they know, or care, not

will encompass their own

and all.

To be silent,

is this to yield,

or worse,

to consent?

Hmmm.

The human agent craves action.

This is something bigger than a human agency can create

although human agency acts upon it.

Whether you speak

or remain silent,

stand.

(More to come. Maybe.)
