SILENCED AGAINST OUR WILL
Why be insensitive to those who are poor yet intelligent? Share their thoughts, stories and views to inspire Be a leader not a follower not to condemn others of their race Why be prejudice to those who were born with a fertile mind? We live on the same planet earth, wreaking havoc fighting among ourselves Covering up the truth let the government control what to teach the next generation Why let such stupidity govern our country and society to be overruled?
We can't move forward If we don't have any freedom of speech Be locked behind bars in jail because our justice system failed us What kind of life do we want to have now and years to come? Be scared, intimidated, chained without any warning or reason going insane. A dangerous predicament to foretell ahead what may happen Because we are silenced against our own will.
