The Mute Speaks

Should they?

By Hot CocoaPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

When will the Mute speak, or should they

A world where the Mute listen and the Leader speak

Is this the right way, or should there be another

When the Mute speak, will they say the right words

The Mute want to speak, but the Leader don’t want them to

If the Mute speak, the Leader will be silenced and chaos ensues

The world crumbles, tremors from the new found voices and ideas

When the Mute speak, will it be worth the struggle

The Mute can never speak, but the Leader shouldn’t either

False promise, False hope, False intent, but a Leader is needed

Who will lead the Mute if no one falsifies like the Leader

When the Mute speaks, who will lead them

The Mute want to speak, but they cannot

The Leader shouldn’t lead, but who will when no one speaks

Who is the wrong, who is the right, The Mute. The Leader

The Mute speaks, but what will they say
