Silence (A reverse poem)


I am part of this disadvantaged world And I refuse to believe that This will all change I believe this may be impossible "Gender, Race, Culture makes one equal" Is a lie and Pretending none of this inequality happens So later on I tell them It doesn't matter and just to be silent about it Being silent Is more helpful than Speaking out and having a voice I tell you this Once upon a time We had a utopia, where nothing makes us inferior But not in my era There are those willing to step on others in order to get to the top exist People tell me that You will never get to the top because of gender or race I do not deny that I will live in a society of inequality and of rape culture In the future People saying "Don't GET Raped" Instead of "Don't Rape" would be said "It's my fault" is but a whisper that fades eventually another voice is gone No longer would it be said "We are equal with the same advantages in life" There will be people who care It will be evident that My era will be consumed in the dark, never reaching the light It is stupid to assume that There is hope, a voice to be heard Is what consist in our society Nonexistent pools of hidden tears and silent screams of agony And all of this will continue unless we wish to REVERSE it!
