Utterings unsaid

Untold, yet bold

Uh-oh! An undercurrent strong

That wanders with a wordless wrong

Bids her to shout –

To call one out

And cast aspersions all along.

Unless she aims to join the horde,

To linger idly and ignored,

She can’t abide

And horrors hide,

While evils echo, underscored.

Alas! Her feet refuse to find

Their passage in the path unkind.

She holds her peace,

Rage to release.

Then turns and leaves the brute behind.
