Pages screamed out loud on a fractured tongue
ended in awkward silences,
left a gathered crowd fuming.
Frustrated and angered by their
damaged eardrums, they
closed in around the street corner "stage".
Walls crumbled without sympathy for the broken minded
rebel, screaming out for understanding as the
mobs stamped those pages down until they faded into the history books.

This makes me think of the Communist witchhunts of the 1950's. Very Provocative. I like your work. You manage to paint pictures that are much larger than the sum of your words.
