Inspire, instruct insolent insurgents
To teach tolerant townsmen
Virulent, vitriolic violence
Uprising, unrest, anger-
Stir sleeping scorpions
Make men mad!
Fear fierce fiery fury, fools!
Thoughtless thugs! Thorough thieves!
Sleep soundly; snore sonorously
Heedless, happy, healthy, huge-
Doom, destruction, death, defeat
Unite yonder upon you...
Judgment, justice,
Come calling-come quickly!
Thought thou that thoughtless thieving
Unchecked, undeterred, unchallenged
Would wax without waning
Endless, everlasting, eternal?
Very strong poem, Alvin. Excellent idea and wonderful use of alliteration. Great message, too.10
