Silent

I have a voice… going unheard As loud as a deathening silent I have from a thousand but one word Will someone listen to reason? Why and when was my life decided? To have an idea but impossible to achieve Wasn’t money I earned provided? Yet by standards I’m unable to receive Do I need qualifications to be free? But I see obtaining it as part of a program to be controlled If I’m stupid or perhaps smart enough to be I choose otherwise if not otherwise only I know… I am no stranger to loneliness Losing my family and friends is a matter of time What troubles me is unfounded solemnness And how only by division I was made left behind I have a voice… going silent As loudly as I hear… goes unheard To understand I haven’t the qualifications only my reasons Amounts as much a thousand without a single word ………………. 22/2/2022
