BANISHED SILENCE

I'm no longer at ease.

The ardor for my country is bleak.

The whole may soon split.

I need answers!

The resources; our resources are no longer ours.

I'm chased out of my cubicle; Seemingly helpless.

No! I'm strong because my ancestors were.

I need to fight!

Who’s the captain of the sinking sheep,

Who sinks the sheep on purpose,

To the admiration of waiting scavengers?

Ignorance? Sabotage? Mediocrity or greed?

Soon, the stars will fall flat; the moon - dark;

The shadows will disappear.

The time is almost ripe for answers.

I need to fight!
