SPEAK UP!

March 27, 2015

SPEAK UP!

Too loud for you?

I'm sorry, scratch that 

No apologies

I've been quiet for too long 

It's time to speak up!

Get loud!

and raise our voices before they're gone

This is our one and only chance 

"YOLO" as they say

Bang a drum, sing a note

speak up any way that you may!

This world needs to hear our voices 

our ideas

our thoughts 

our opinions 

our perspectives of how this galaxy works 

They need new breathe

which exhales from our brains 

that is filled with out of this world stuff

Stuff because there is no other word to describe it

it is just that great

The stuff that floats in our minds can save 

humanity

but you, me, we

won't speak up! 

why is that?

We are the next leaders and yet afraid to showcase 

SPEAK UP!

Never apologize for the creativeness you behold 

for it is not sorry, but beautiful 

We've been quiet for too long 

We must use or voices now!

Before they are gone

We must use them to show that other great minds 

didn't die for nothing

Please use your voice for something!

Something you believe in!

Something you stand for!

Because the time is NOW!

It is time to get loud and never back down

For our voices are power

ammo in the chamber

that fires off into this world

Not to cause harm, but to give new life 

a Rebirth

But we must not be afraid 

for the alarm is ringing! 

Its time to speak up!

Get loud! 

And don't listen to anyone who tells you to shut up!
