"THE RIOT INSIDE THE QUIET"

You keep forcing that old, rotten joke

about how we keep quiet

yet demand that we be understood

Ha...ha...ha...!

What a dork

You think you’re such a riot

when you’re just being rude

Has it ever occured to you,

we’ve tried to tell you before?

All you did was laugh us off

calling us out

on our ‘supposedly’ irrationality

while you’re as logical as can be

You also tend

to get especially violent

in order to shut us up

saying that ‘good women’ should hush,

keep quiet

You’re the joke

I wish you’d be painfully choked

by your giant-sized ego

just so I could shove you where to go

You always find things to say

You have always been ‘oh-so-privileged’ anyway

Please, stay in the stone age

I’m sick to death of hearing you yap

while greedily claiming the whole centre stage!
