VOICE

Silence gripped our soul,

Uneasy but unable to speak.
Whist! Our mind said.
Speak! Our heart said.
Quiet, we lay in a pool of silence
Drowning in words that failed to come out.
A scream broke out suddenly from within;
At last we not only heard ourselves
But the world heard our voice.
No longer was silence going to hold us hostage;
Our voice was going to echo round the world.
The sound of our voice will forever change our generation.
