I don’t understand
no matter how I try
why children and adults
are forced to live a lie
how so many around us
don’t realize the truth

Justice is Unjust

but there’s something we can do.
Almost every person
cares what other people think
and the outspoke voices
are the ones that truly sting
those who should be speaking
sit quietly and watch

Indifference is Infectious

and it all needs to be stopped.
Stop preaching all this poison
the body count’s already high
there should not be a reason
that children want to die

I’m standing on my soapbox
making my opinion heard
so listen to me closely

Cause I’m speaking more than words.
