WE ARE THE VOICEWill you join your voice as one with our voices
Every nation is crying out for a new direction
Across every language speaking in unison
Race against the destruction before its late
Every moment, it is becoming more precious
Together with our voices together, they'll hear
How we're are tired of the government' choice
Eradicating our hope for future generations
Violence has...

I dont blame herI dont blame her for how she chose to survive
It was never really her choice
It was a forced setup
A gun forced into our hand
To absolve them of guilt
But they guide our hands
On to the trigger
And coax us into pulling it
But was it really suicide
When the world forced...

This is My StoryMy life has ups and downs
Sometimes happy, sad, and angry
But in the end will have forgiveness
As we are all made by Father in Heaven
This is my story, this is my life
A person who is silent
But will be here by your side
To give the best of mine...

Glass VoiceI spoke in glass, so fine, so thin
each word a thread of fragile sound.
You touched me once, and cracked within
the walls I'd built to stand my ground.
You smiled like spring-like sudden thaw
and I, all frost, began to break.
You carved your name inside my flaw
and called it love for memory's sake.
You said my silence made you...

The sun sinks low, the shadows grow,
No moon is out up high,
A chilling breeze begins to blow,
With stars up in the sky;
I wearily wade my way in...

The Things I Never BuriedI never buried certain names,
They lingered like a scent in air.
I whispered them through window panes
And found them waiting everywhere.
I never buried childhood roads—
The ones I walked with bleeding knees.
They live inside the softest odes
And bloom like ghosts among the trees.
I never buried what she said
The night the silence broke our bed.
Her voice still echoes...

Noisy SilenceI speak yet no one hears
I have a voice yet I am silenced
In the chaos
no one cares
Eyes to see yet blinded
Ears to hear yet no one hears
Minds are programmed to ignore
Hearts hardened
No one feels
I feel so alone
In a world filled with people
People too afraid to allow themselves to think
To feel
To...

The Courage to Write AgainThe ink returns—not to defend,
nor chase the ghosts I used to fend.
Not to explain the aching past,
but breathe through wounds that couldn’t last.
It does not rise with pointed proof,
nor beg for silence turned to truth.
It flows because the heart now dares
to speak in lines what once hid there.
Where words once cost too much to say,
a...

To be black part IITo be black
Is to live life freely
Despite being trapped in a cage without a key
Ignoring the hate from society
As their bodies radiate envy
Trying to destroy our joy through spreading negativity
And taking our lives violently
To be black Is to smile in the face of adversity
To be black
Is to find beauty in the...

The Decline of HumanitySee the world around yourself,
See the people around you—
The scary face of people,
The crying face of children.
They are scared, lonely, and sad.
They fear the world.
See the fearless around the world.
The mothers are crying with children in their hands,
Praying for their children’s life,
While others are praying for their children’s future
To be bright.
People say, “This is the...

The many languages of black voicesWe dont have to use our voice to scream
Because a voice isn't just words
It's art, it's our presence, it's how we exist
It's being unapologetically black
Our presence is like the rain after a drought
And the rain nourishes the ground
It's like walking into a room and it's brought back to life
Where once was darkness, has now been...

My Honour, So I ObjectToday I have no counsel.
No mouthpiece carved from conscience,
no briefcase of softened truths,
no evidence to prove innocence.
Just me— the accused,
standing in the ribcage of a collapsing courtroom,
where the gavel echoes like a gunshot in a cathedral.
But I will speak in a voice stitched from landfill smoke
and the static of forgotten warnings.
Because this is about honour....

The power of being blackShe was the rain
He was the thunder
And together they were an unstoppable storm
Both activists in their own form
Both doing what they were made for
A duo who held a power that could destroy A system
Meant only to break them
Built to control them
Her voice was fire
Loud and unforgiving
His mind was like...

Voice Recording Number 5i'm listening to recording number 5.
it's my own fault
for digging where the dust didn’t settle,
i heard my voice cracking through static,
saying “ok go,”
and you
you come on like the end credits of a bad film,
talking about fate and fools,
last goodbyes that grow on trees
in some cemetery of could’ve beens.
