Let's scream for the silenced,

in the present and past.

Let's speak, let's write

for those who can't see,

for those who can't hear,

for those who once

whispered to fear.

Let's not build barriers,

it's not worth the strain.

Let's not just add ladders

for those who can't gain,

only audio waves

for those who can't hear.

Let's not raise more walls,

there are too many here.

Never again

should we close the door

on those who are different,

let's open it more.

I look all around me,

and I see no concern

for such a situation,

for this lesson to learn.

Let's not build up walls

for some who are meek;

they already bear

more than they should seek.
