the quiet protest

the quiet will not shout about it

there are different ways to be seen

the quiet will wear a safety pin

and sit beside you on the bus

the quiet will not snarl and twist their voices 

outside a public building on a Saturday afternoon 

before skipping off merrily to the pub

the quiet will not hold their anger aloft to the wind 

but keep it stoked for fuel in every action and thought 

the quiet will not stick around for judgement

they will walk away with strength

withdrawing like the ocean
