I HEAR the VOICEless


I am speaking with the sounds of the speechless youth the mute those whose mouths are no more but less than acute the anti-educationalists calling themselves fighters but only know the fist the ones who sit in their rooms and converse with themselves not because it's fun but because there's specifically no one else those, who like me pick up a pencil and scratch onto paper about their lives and with no time left are forced to give up the only thing they know but have have yet to run out of write get it? we as youth process a million thoughts at a billion miles an hour about a trillion things from the view of our appearance to the dreams we'll probably never see because we live in America "Home Of The Free Indeed' where slaves have been beaten for knowing anything of the word read A country that was once race-ist now race-less In race crime multi-race split contradicted lives when we were born God cut the ropes and said go hell is a real place that... we should all know life seems to race of who can get there first not knowing that when you can from the womb you had already arrived there soon figuring out that God has multiple rooms in heaven to share for the kids who hate school right on guys! just live instead and not walk through school doors and expect math and science to fill your heads Life takes effort and struggles along with some doubt and laughing at us because in a few years he'll take you out on a date of your whole life you'll figure out things you've never imagined and come to the conclusion that fun only got you there faster we live in a world that only speaks of selfish peace I specifically say this listening to commercials making me want to join the army seriously/ with all the things I've been through the last thing you want to do is arm-me Question? why do teachers teach? because they like talking? or because they like to repeat? they sit us down and write the entire lesson on the board and erase it all when we leave just to speak a little more and ironic world yin-yang we live in a testicular sack where the sperm cells are white but the man yielding them is black the truth hurts while lies keep safe that's why we do the first sadly and the second with a straight face.
