Dissent in Question

7 1 1
                                    

The sound of the echo in the room caused a storm.

 How is it that in a room of so many,

 there was only just one voice.

 It did not speak to anyone yet everyone understood. 

Did they understand or were they just following it without resistance?

Only the leader had a voice. 

The rest were mutes. 

No one said a word. 

Dissent was not in their vocabulary.

 You could not tell them apart. 

Their souls were one, yet the lives lost were many.
