do not ask me to keep quiet

when the sorrows of the world fails to unite

those who care and are concerned

but are all engrossed in their own plans

to make the world better and safer

for those who have no supportive clans

i aM SURE THE RAINS OUTSIDE WILL NOT WASH

the footprints of those who walked past

when some were raising the red flags,

telling them to think of consequences
of speaking out

i am happy that i did not keep quiet

what if the dust got into my eyes
