SILANCE


 Being quiet

will never start a riot.

Speaking out

To think outloud

The truth is all requires.

Many people

are scared

to stand up.

Justice won't be granted

If you never want to Speak.

Silance

not as quiet as it seems

who agrees?

Thoughts are loud as sirens ringing

all up in your ears.

America

the home of all the lies and all the fears.

People who speak out

being punished into silance shhhhhh!

You shouldn't say that!

It might offend some.

Keep them ignorant

no damage being done.

So is the truth wrong

depending how you say it?

Should it still be told

Even if it causes chaos.

Hear the voices

rising by the minute

A silent person will

not be heard.

So we must

do what?

SPEAK UP.
