Your hair wet with sweat
Screaming into the crowd
It was twilight, their eyes were bright.
Unfurling your fury
It was not the world you hated but the people
The unsung voices of the dead, the dying
Like a coyote, as you cry you were howling.
Stage lights casting over your head
So they mayn't see your eyes
Just the shadows of your lashes
Just your groaning and snarling.
Their hearts pumping, their minds flashing,
Whiter, hotter, it was electric,
Your voice deafening,
Standing tall, you were defying.
Exhibited, like an animal
Baring your teeth as hands reached out
To grab, touch and rip
Your name yelled and yelled.
Thousands ready for your bidding
You were present yet silent
What you needed to say stamped upon
Because you sang, but your eyes weren't open.
