For so many years
the body was silenced
below thoughts of
achievement and duty
Giving out a silent,
restless scream
each and every night
wihtout being heard
The restless shout
telling the story
of endurance
beyond pain
And then
the scream released
a growl so loud
that nothing,
not a single cell
was able to ignore
the loud scream
of the body
