DAY 13
COWARDICE?
The black stars send shivers down our spine,
Our thumb, eyes and ears are all that is assigned,
We shall keep our mouth closed and act like we are fine,
But once the curtain falls, we shall wail in silence.
We've lost our voice and the cause to smile,
Our freedom of speech has been long defiled.
The sprouting seed in the giant garden has also mastered the art of silence.
Freedom of speech is only a paper talk,
Our rights as citizens is all we ask for
But we dare not talk, for silence is our solace even though it is cowardice.
