The Day of Silence

October 12, 2013

A silent chant echoes through the halls.

Our wordless speech bounces off the walls.

 

you have labeled us with shame.

We hold our head high, fighting back tears.

It is hard to play your game.

The world against us, supressed for years.

 

A soundless voice screams for what is right.

The muffled cries are ready for a fight.
