over
the white noise
to
get their concerns
heard
for once
but over and over
they
are denied
their
place at the table
by
the powerful
yet we cannot let
our
voices drown
but
make them rise
and
topple mountains
- Written for dVerse Quadrille #954: Roaring in the New
Sounds like an important roar indeed. May each and every voice be heard. I love the visual "topple mountains" invokes. Great verb!
ReplyDeleteI like your description of how one has to roar over the "white noise".
ReplyDeleteI hear your voice in this poem rise.
ReplyDeleteA good aspiration, to make our voices rise and topple mountains.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if we sometimes need to roar less to be heard... but it's so understandable that we try.
ReplyDeleteNice.
