Speak Up


Speak up for the deaf Speak of for the silence Speak up for whats left Speak up for the violence Speak Up! Raise the volume.. Yell it in the ears of our society We dying from obesity! Fighting cause all this animosity! 40 years I want to live at least to see! But who hears my plead for peace? Killed by my own Looked down on by the grown, Cause to them, I'm just a statistic. But Really! Lets be realistic. Speak Up! If you care.. Speak Up! If you dare... Illuminati? Killuminati! Not the devil's warrior, But the almighty God's soldier. Peace! I weep... Love! I wreak... Forgive me Lord, for I have sinned. Forgiven, Now new mistakes begin. But its the devil at work. Clap my hands! Stomp my feet! Send him back under the dirt. oh Lord! Heaven I want to meet! So Speak Up! Speak up for the body, mind, and spirit! Maybe people will begin to hear it! Not one to judge But one to speak truth. Under pressure I won't budge. When I speak, I speak knowledge! Hurting feelings like a wisdom tooth. Im Raiona...and this is my pledge..to...Speak Up! "I know what I'm talking about and I talk what I know" - Raiona

I write whats on my mind and heart. I speak for those who are afraid to and I aspire to change lives, minds, and the world with my words.

<p>Love this poem, definetly forever use the voice we've been so blessed to receive. People might not listen, but still I speak. For one day, when enough people speak- the sound will shake the ground. The ground will shift, and things will change.</p>
