The Problem With All My Solutions

Well its been a long time in progress, but I have finally finished the first draft of my book.  It is a collection of my favorite pieces that i have written.  The title is 'The Problem With All My Solutions' i can't really decide if it has a theme to it or not because they are all in a sense related, yet very different pieces.  Here is one of them for you to enjoy (hopefully)...
People's Barricade
Don’t speak
Your silence screams louder
Stay seated
You will standout
Don’t clench your fists
Your peace is heroic
When they charge
Stay as you are
Don’t run
For you stand for a dream
A dream they can never trample
(Inspired by images of the 2008 RNC Protests in St. Paul)

There are more like this, and more that are also very different, hopefully in my book there is a little something for everyone.  Post a comment to let me know how you liked this specific poem of mine.
(Sorry for the delay in posts recently i plan on doing 1-3 a week from now on)
