Null and Void

by S.J. Tyler

I’m laughing for kicks and using my sticks
For purposes I don’t divulge
But like cats in a cage you’ll hear the rage
On the inside of your skull

Because I can’t sit here silent
I’m not one of those “null and void”
Who will stand still and do nothing
While everything around them is destroyed

In the crowd, I’ll be the loudest chick you hear
Cus I’m here, and I didn’t come just to say I was
I’m here and you’d better damn well know my cause
Because its your cause, and her cause, and his cause out there
It’s our cause, because we’re human
And you’re not human if you don’t care

No I won’t sit here silent
I’m not one of those “null and void”
I won’t stand still and do nothing
And let everything I love here be destroyed

Congrats on POTD! Lots of determination in this piece, and the repetition of the word "cause" is most effective. Thank you.
