Temperence

Speak your mind
   Be silent under the public eyes
Don’t tell a lie

Faces covered in a masks,
   Zippers for mouths
What else could  we  lack?

         What is wrong with this?

I will pay you to be quiet
   Go against your morals
I bit my lip and nodded my head.
What else could I do when I can’t afford a bed?
    
It made things lesss changing.
They all support it.
I coudl be accepted.

Don’t be scared; try it.
