Speaking Out With Poetry

The words are being silenced and censored.
They are making an effort to ban and make them
Become a taboo. Darling, we have entered

A new reality and we cannot let the drum
Beat carry it all away like sand on a windy day.
It is like taking the main parts like the stem

And root of a flower. It is like every ray
Of sunshine disappearing forever. We will sneak
Out when it feels like they are going to betray

Our freedom and hope. We are not weak
When they take away our voice because we
Still have a strong and steady way to speak

The truth out loud within every tree.
Within every root we are standing tall
And taking back what makes us feel free.
