If only I had a way
To amplify
My voice
But
It remains faint
Traveling infinite miles
Just for you to
Hear me,
Them,
Us,
He,
We
The voices
Of the lost
Lend us your ear
Open your mind
See with your heart
And may our voices
Become painstakingly clear
Over the everyday blues
The what ifs
The confusion
The grief
The strife
And
Anything else
That deters you
From
Hearing me,
Them,
Us,
He,
We
The voices
Of the lost
We are calling to you
From a land
Completely occupied
With unheard voices
To speak…
You need to know
We
Forgive you
We only want to
Grant you
Peace
From the pain
Of our innocent blood
Shed in the name of “fear”
And uncertainty
Because certainly
You couldn’t possibly
Be
Our mothers
Fathers
Brothers
Sisters
Sons
Or daughters
For they cringe at every
Loving memory
Those you never knew
Because of things
You assumed you knew about me
Them,
Us,
He,
We
If only we had a way
To amplify
Our voices
But
They
Remain faint
Trapped
Reverberating sound waves
Infinite miles away
Longing for you to
Hear them,
Us,
He,
We
The voices
Of those lost
In the name of uncertainty
