The policing of voice

It's not about tone Its about policing of voice It's not about the sound we make It's the words echoing through them They don't fear us being seen They fear us being heard That we will hypnotise the masses with our words They know their biggest threat is the power of our voice It's why they wield silence as a weapon It's why protest is a declaration of war to them That every march is a song of rebellion They fear our music not because of its beauty But because it spreads a message of spoken truth We write our history We sing our feelings We paint our stories Our strength Fueled By the mourning of our fallen Our joy the face of protest The very thing they want gone
