They Only Got God

No opinion 
No voice 
No rights 
No freedom 
Can you see? 
Or you shut your eyes
Can you hear?
Or you shut your ears 
Can you relate?
Or you shut your heart
Shut your mouth 
Don’t speak 
Close your ears 
Don’t listen 
Kill your heart 
Don’t feel 
Do you remember 
When your opinion was ignored 
When your voice wasn’t heard 
When they took your rights 
When they took your freedom
Are you fine?
I’m not 
Let’s make a change they say 
But no one reacts 
Let’s make a change you say 
But how? 
It’s a sad world for some 
And these some only have their God

This is strong. I can relate this written with the Afghanistan situation. I hope things get better there
