Ah me, what can I do? I see the fear and the pain, The terror and the unfair gain, The starving masses through a screen, News reported blandly; A woman *****, her strangled throat Cannot voice her pain, Black children shot, democracies rot; We must enrol to vote. Yes! Use our voices and Pick the suited white man, who Best represents our feelings; We might as well be kneeling As picking from that self-same lot Of narrow minds and paunchy pots, Ah me! If I only knew What I could do. For now I only have these tossing thoughts So hard to sort, or to abort; Truth and lies, life, demise, So I only utter, as I watch the TV screen A silent scream; Ah me! One day, will I find my voice?* Voice my findings and my rage? Have enough nous, be enough sage To let that scream be heard, And crack through the screenβs merde?
