The Sotto Voce

Does it not tear your heart?

Does it not tear your soul?

People who have grieved,

People who can never forget,

But their loved ones deceived.

 

To see the people who have lost

Their loved ones to the earth?

To see the people who have nothing

Left, because they are not worth?

To see children beg on streets

When they should be taught?

To see the women’s disrespect

Who are responsible for a nations health?

To see the brutal blood shed

Of people who are no more but innocent?

To see the tyrants wanting more

And to never descend?

 

Are you blind? Can’t you see?

People hopeless, to be set free?

Are you deaf? Can’t you hear?

The sotto voce still unheard?

Are you dumb? Can’t you speak?

To begin a revolution streak!
