Use it in a sentence:

Solipsism silences the crowds of dissent.

   Solipsism voids the voices of liberation that ascend—

To defy the shackles that mute us into obedience.

      Solipsism emerges

from rivers of indifference,

drowning discord,

drowning resistance.

To speak of freedom

     is to have the freedom to speak.

The words of our forefathers are a crescendo,

      Leading our liberation.

Whispers reverberate—

     Echoes through canyon walls,

Stretching to overcome

     the blindness

that squelches the thirst to speak.

      Anger bleeds

against injustice.

                                       Freedom-

                                                                       Truncated.
