Silent Voices & Stolen Choices

A silent voice,

A blind glance,

Always a reason,

For avoiding the dance.

 

We see the truth,

It’s right before us,

But we choose not to speak,

And just join the chorus.

 

Even when those

We count as kith and kin,

Are singled and beaten.

We refuse to see the sin.

 

See it takes courage to stand;

To be that strong, lonely voice,

Especially when your silence is bought,

By those who deny choice.

 

It’s not you after all,

Not your face in the hairs.

So why raise your hand,

And risk the despair?

 

Because it’s the right thing to do!

There should be no silent voices,

When normal men and women

Suffer for making informed choices.

 

For the leaders of Man,

Who serve at our displeasure,

Should never be allowed to deny

Freedom, Self and Treasure.

 

Nor should they profit,

From fear, control, and power,

But they will unless you act!

Cometh the man, cometh the hour!

 

It's time to conquer your fear,

To find your voice; it's not too late!

Freedom and truth command us to act,

And clarify their mandate.
