There are words that i can not use
truths that i must never speak
phrases i continue to abuse
and lies that i am forced to keep

there are stories that would ease your pain
so cleverly depicted
syllables of a tyrants campaign
to conceal a life so scripted

we are the same
mind, body and soul
eager for a change
but lacking any control

we are the people, the fools
the followers of the crowd
obeying each and every rule
so oblivious, so proud

we are we, the majority
the ever necessary factor
fight  back for your authority
break free from your captor

allow yourself a voice
and break the silence
may the truth be your choice
and forever your guidance
