Protest

war is not a protest but a lack of protest
death is not a protest but a lack of protest
laughter is not a protest but a lack of protest
peace is not a protest but a lack of protest
revolution is not a protest but a lack of protest
life is not a protest but a lack of protest

a soldier cannot say no
a citizen cannot say no
a suicide cannot say no
a lonely shadow cannot say no

letters do not arrive
letters do not sent

a bed under an apple tree
an apple on a bed

a drop of execution sleep at sunset
