I speak
Into voids and hollow trees
In the middle of night.
I speak
And no one hears
My tree falling.
I speak
And nothing comes of rhetoric
But division.
I write
And wars inside come forth
In art.
For :iconnapowrimo: day 16.

From
"Out of the quarrel with others we make rhetoric; out of the quarrel with ourselves we make poetry."-W.B. Yeats

I enjoyed this one, you cleverly appealed to broader ideals by invoking historical truths.
