[Excerpt from "Battle Royale"]   Harvested. Nestled. Contrary.   Why deny this calling?   Continue to predict and conclude   matters and factors beyond the noise.   The essence of reality is a construction not a recording.   With blank stares, witness passively the drip-by-drip   eroding our foundation and livelihood without closing it shut.   With action we'll speak the loudest voice.   Damn this perpetual flow of belittling and silencing.   A wall of cries   to break the fallacy of complacency   to shut,   to stand,   to break it down.
