I need no megaphone,

My pen is enough.

My lips may be sealed,

By string or by glue,

But my pen will not be silenced,

No matter what they may do.

With or without reputation,

I write to be heard.

I am not a scribe

So that the world will know my name,

Or that I may have a claim,

But that something in the world

Is changed.

I write to Presidents, and power,

Senators in their white towers.

I write for right,

to be heard for light.

I write for iron,

to be heard without compromising.

To be heard is well,

but to be heard for justice,

is life

Listen as I speak.

My common sense,

 is the key.

To be heard for logic,

For justice,

For iron.
