Sagacious words

Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary. ~ Khalil Gibran

Standing


Standing in line
To become valid subjects,
Mutterings
Under the breath
At the colours of change
Outrage and indignation
At differences;
A listening rebel
Breaks away incensed-
And causes an even greater outcry-
Frustration speaks in rebellion,
 I belong here!
Derision speaks in dismissal,
'Well then get into line-
Don't you know civilised people queue?!'

- J.Bibi
