Readers, Writers, and Arsonists

by Jason Vanderlaan

Sometimes rants are better written and not read,

And sometimes silence has the Midas touch.

Sometimes the folded paper finds its place in the pocket,

And sometimes wisdom is found with the teeth on the tongue.

But tables have the tendency to turn

When we least expect it.

Because the time is coming

When the voiceless will scream

And the unspoken will find a home in your ears.

And the time is coming

When the shadows will burn

And the hidden will find a home in your eyes.
