radical revolutionaries
radicals and revolutionaries
poison
prison
persistent silence
honored by empty sounds
brutal responsibility
while guarding inncoence:
varying degrees
of untold guilt
violent rhetoric
booms as tryranny continues
bloodshed liberates
but does not placate
radicals and
revolutionaries
