Raging Seas

Submerged.

Beaneath the pounding surge,

they're swept and tossed about.

Redoubt.

Silenced.

White-capped waters, violent,

drown the pleas that splutter.

Govern.

Eclipsed.

Within a raw abyss,

no starlight can be seen.

Regime.

Pressured.

They remain indentured,

kneeling on the seabed.

Condemned.

Provoked.

A seismic shift revolt

rode lava to the shore.

Implore.

Dreaded.

Rainstorms lash on exit,

hissing hate with fervor.

Murder.

Unbound.

Their anguish burns the ground,

demands equality.

Decree!
