It is tough to lift your voice in a riot,

It may be a challenge to keep safe the peace,

As your silence sounds deafeningly quiet,

When you really want something to stop or cease.

Matched with a quizzical, curious glower,

To stop dead all those, who are loosing their head,

And foster a demur dialogue instead.
