Speak Out.
Our passions go out
Not with a bang but a whimper
Not with a whimper but a whisper
Not with a whisper but a shout
Our world was painted grey
We were all just a child
We didn’t know for a while
The rapists, the guns, the terrorists, the gay
Over the years, we have grown
We discover ourselves
Into life we delve
And we expand on what we have known
After all the lessons we’ve been taught
Some are timid
Some are livid
Some raise their voices against the lot
There has been a great epidemic nationwide
In a world full of strangers
Neighbors no longer are neighbors
There has come a great divide
So when can we stand up to this?
We are no longer ignorant pups
We all have the potential to be heard
Only if we turn our volume up
