Riot Act


And so it was…
…An incurable scourge…
         …Happed to make its stand…
…Upon our patch of soil…
              …In this once proud land…
Panic
Disorder
Chaotic Applause
Predilections Rise
In revolt of an unjust cause

Infamy
Atrocity
Tyrannical Pause
Insurrections beget
In defense of pawns

Protect
Fortify
Symbolic thaw
Volitions speak
Riot acts upon

Rigid
Static
Empirical scars
Elevations threaten
The way things were

Conflict
Discordance
Iniquity calls
Inflictions augment
The way things are

Collision
Fray
Cascades draw
Perditions whelm
In the support of man
…And so it was…
…Carnage crawled back into its depth…
…United was the common man…
…Deflecting treble …
 …Distracting spawn…
…With the will exhibited by all…
…Shielded from the shame of failure…
…Through which…
...A once desolate village…
…Became quite strong
