This is my voice

*Deep Breath*
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

This is my voice and I'm going to use it.
I use it to release my stress, I use it to teach.
I use it to express myself wherever and whenever I need to
I am lucky to have my voice - so many without.
The powers that surge to the singular - and yet, so many with so little.

It is my duty to give voice to the voiceless.
If you won't listen to them, you will listen to me.
If you won't listen to them, I will.

Is this the world we want?
"Welcome to the 21st Century" but is it as good as we think?
It's a start, but it's all come before and gone before.
You have a voice. Let it be heard.

Will you speak up before they come for you too?

Glad you enjoyed it Frank. I'll have to include a disclaimer next time, will I? ("Cover your ears.") Haha.
