Song of the Silent
September 2011 (10th Grade)

Can you hear it,
roaring as the streetlights become lit?
Do you feel it,
pounding as  your ears are hit?
It's louder than a stereo,
and yet it's softer than waves of radio.
We shall not hush.
What a rush!
For once, we sing for ourselves.
For once, we are not on the bottom shelf.
The Quiet go unnoticed.
The Shushed go unwashed.
Purity will reign.
The Voices have sang.
We will not be outplayed.
Our dragons are slayed.
The speechless have spoken.
The Incomplete are no longer broken.
Muzzles and Restraints are burned.
Freedom has been earned.
The Loud sing no longer.
The Silent has gotten a little bit stronger.
