A moment of dissent...

In the chamber, bright and gleaming,

Gathered they, a throng of souls,

Microcosm of existence,

Striving for a common goal.

 

A young, poised figure standing,

Radiating strength and grace,

Urged the voices of the future

Speak, and let their whispers blaze.

 

Name and pronoun, words defining,

Germaine led the dance of sounds,

But the sixth, a rebel spirit,

Broke the chains that tightly bound.

 

Silence bloomed, expectant, heavy,

Moment's hush, a challenge laid,

Yet the spark of confrontation

In an instant, swiftly fades.

 

At the table's edge, observing,

Witness to the strange ballet,

Compliance and dissent colliding,

Silent voice, in disarray.

 

Leaving now, the end uncertain,

Lost within the deafening din,

Musing on the irony,

Of conformity within.
