No Voice

No Voice

Listen to me
please
is all I ask
Hear my words
Let them resonate
and you will learn
about me
For I have been forgotten
My allusions unnoticed
or disregarded
Your guilt quickly
and bombastically
camouflaging the truth
of what I say
Silencing
You spin it
until unrecognizable
You are now the victim
and I the aggressor
My precious words
catch the fury of your ire
and fall in ashes
to the ground
Unheard 
Unrecoverable

I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose. Thanks for checking it out. Christine

  7. Oh yes…..the spin that can be put on facts to turn them into something else…..the refusal to take any sense of accountability and thrust the blame or guilt on an “other” — LISTEN….yes. That is a great plea. Especially in this country to heed in November!

  8. We speak, we write, we holler and yet … we are at times unheard, and go unnoticed. This is an exceptionally strong write. The poem can be interpreted in more ways than one. 💝💝
