Let my voice be heard
I implored the sky
Let my voice be heard
Make them listen to my words
I dared not be silent
My captors wanted me quiet
I refused to comply
They had no idea why
And still they tried
My voice was their protection
Shielding all from total destruction
They chose to disbelieve
The Reprieve
I so wished to give
So, still they tried
Too weak to resist –
My voice closed like a fist
The silence that followed
Was a deafening roar
Through their ears
It bore
Was utter in its size
It bloomed and burrowed
It was the beginning of
Their demise
