You stay mute, thinking you don't have a choice,
but silence is a form of compliance;
and change requires the power of your voice;
injustice must be met with defiance.
Your voice means something; it needs to be heard
when the lines between right and wrong get blurred,
and things go from distasteful to absurd.
Speak up when you perceive something isn't right,
exercise your rights, hold on to them tight;
step out of the shadows into the light.
Don't let greed run you down in a Rolls-Royce,
or paychecks turn hope into reliance;
though anonymity may be preferred,
there are times when one must speak truth to might.
