Come, let's go somewhere quieter
where the crowd has not gathered.
Withdraw to my own space where I can have
some time alone to think.
Latent energy is everywhere,
the passive aggression is simmering,
just waiting to boil over.

I have my own ideas of how things should go;
Do not bother me.
Today, I am an unique individual
just like everyone else.
You with your signs and loud-hailers,
keep your sense of justice to yourself.
I have hope. I have anger.

Politics is personal.
