Cardboard Voice


Sitting on an invisible desert Screaming for Help No one hears Voice Plastered on a piece of cardboard No yellow brick road That others follow home No home to follow it to Rain The rain of helplessness The sound of silence When shaking a can Dignity None of it Begging Not your choice Not your preference Yet it ends up as your life That shaking silent can The cardboard Your life
