Treasonable Felony Poem by Tony Adah

Dark clouds fell upon the earth
Brother against brother
And the klaxon blared
In the ears of the common people
No one stood on their way
Except their dragging feet
Frail and strong.

The klaxon blarer's message
Was loud and clear
And they rose to their feet
Took their destiny in their hands
And their heart strengthened
In the throbbing rib cage.

The Crier's klaxon stopped
His feet obey the order
Of some waiting sleuths
He is bundled into a coccon
Of a black maria
And the charge is treasonable felony.
