I will go, once I have said what I came here to say

Frederique Neal joins us for the first of many blog entries. Here is a beautiful poem reflecting on what The Noisy Movement joins together to achieve: NOISE.

Reading this after coming home from work today was quite warming, and allowed me to take a step back and look at who we have reached, what we have achieved, and what we still have left to come.

TIRESIAS: I will go, once I have said what I came here to say.

- Sophocles, Oedipus Rex

The Noisy Movement:

remember

this moment

join this movement

stand, with us, collective

and own it

we are not here for our own

enjoyment, but for

some shared objective

for

justice equal treatment appeasement protection from indecent

action recognition destruction of denomination achievement

of revolution

be noisy

in a ladylike, outspoken fashion

together the decibels of our dislike

and anger are louder

than the whispers of an implicit complacent population

so

be noisy

and elicit emotion, conversation, commotion

for

recognition that we are all

only human
