The mob throbs electric
Pulsing into life, it breathes as one
Contortions of a human sea:
tides of change roll foamy white
lathering the shores of life.

A chorus of defiance defines the time.
Voices yearn like lightning
etched across #metallic skies;
skitters of hope, they scrape the horizon;
silver threads filled with promise,
banishing futility.

“All rise,” the bailiff calls.
The storm subsides to listen.
“The people’s court is now in session.”
