“If you let one ant stand up to us, they all stand up to us.”

Tyranny does not rise with banners or chants — it rises quietly, through silence.

In this episode of By the Hearth, I bring three poems to life:
Invictus, No Land of the Free, and Five Men in a Boat —
exploring power, voice, fear, and the cost of not silence.

This is a spoken word poetry episode about:
 silence in society, personal resilience, freedom, moral courage, and what happens when we stop questioning the stories we are told.

A reflective, emotional podcast for anyone who feels the world is getting louder — 

Come sit by the fire. Listen closely.

And ask yourself: who will speak when it’s your turn?

The Fire is Lit!
