A Protest Sound Bites Poem by Ojeikpo Elijah

The streets are filled with voices bold and brave
As people join in protest, loud and clear
Their words resounding, shaking like a wave
A cry for justice, ringing in the ear
Each sound bite, a powerful refrain
Echoing the plight of those oppressed
The passion in their voices, hard to feign
As they demand their rights to be addressed
The beat of drums, the chants of unity
A symphony of voices, rising high
In unison, they speak of equality
And lift their voices to the open sky
With every sound bite, their message spreads
Till all can hear the call for change ahead
The power of these words cannot be ignored
As they shake the system to its core
Each sound bite an anthem, deeply roared
A rallying cry, for what they stand for
The streets are their stage, the world their crowd
As they march on, with hearts and spirits proud
Their sound bites, a weapon, sharp and true
Fighting against all that is unjust and cruel
In harmony, they raise their voices loud
For every cause, for every fight, for every crowd
Their message clear, their passion reigns supreme
As they protest, with every sound bite scream
So let the world hear, and let them know
That these sound bites are more than just a show
Each one a cry for change and revolution
A protest, call for apowerful solution.
