Oppressors

Megan Ugle

Your words my dear speak so loudly to me
As I sit and stare into empty space
Crowds of happy faces, hardened hearts
Speaking for us
Who are they, to speak for us
Strangers from empty lands
They try to silence us
Shut up and put up
They make me feel unheard
But the show must go on dear one
We know who we are
We know where we come from
We know where we are going
And we must come together
As one
