Local Music

Location

Rooms filled with a couple handfuls of angsty teens

waiting for the next band to plug in and tune,

sweat dripping from the collective brow 

of the future of society, the new movement; 

rejected youth pile into basements and garages

to support, to cheer on, to beat each other

and cry out in pain and suffering.

for the new societal standards were published that day.

Hordes of "reckless" and "dare-devil" delinquents 

escape the tauntings of upper-class dregs

by pooling together and pulling through. 

The suppressed voices are those that speak loudest.
