Authoritarian hierarchical
will not silence me
gunboat diplomacy
will not silence me
I do not fear them
– jail me, starve me, deny me
the innate rights of all humanity
I will not fear them
They cannot
will not
silence my words
my art
my thoughts
my heart
I will not be silenced
I will not sit quietly
obediently
while this chaos reigns
I will not turn a blind eye
to the violence and pain
I will not ignore starvation
death of innocents
extinction of species
I will not be silenced
take my name and number, if that feeds your ego
but I will NOT be silenced.
