Voices

VOICES Often in life, we make bad choices But there comes a time When we must raise our voices And speak out on America's grime Drug addiction is running higher It's killing lots of young folks That are wallowing in a mire The stuff on the streets is no joke If we decide to speak out strong Against those growing and selling Deadly drugs for so long We could be so very compelling We could bring down drug lords Who are killing America's youth Put them away in great hordes If we stand and voice the truth So I encourage America's might Let your voice be heard Join me in this noble fight Let our leaders hear every word 1 December 2018 For the contest sponsored by Silent One

P D, I will be pleased to leave some comments. I usually try to temper my comments with kindness mixed with an appeal for change -- change in the attitudes of Christians, law makers, judicial authority, and make it positive but with a 'loud' voice. Thanks for this info, and for the comments.
