Rally

Pissed-off people tend to wrench and squirm
like worms rising above mud, fouled
with battering toxic rain,
their voices fiery,
honed and strong like steel,
rich in content,
clear intent,
dissent...
hope.

Protest

The many voices joined as one, the outcry, the rage, the purpose behind their actions. Short and simple. This says alot.
