The protest without voice
The rally without a banner
The outrage without a grimace
The sadness without a tear
The riot without a handkerchief
The petition without a scratch
The outcry without a whimper
The uproar without a chant
The plea without dirty knees
The demonstration without gathering
The grief without a prayer
The revolution without a revolt
The quiet
Tick tack tack *pause*
Silence
A life in absentia
Tick tack tack, tack tack…
