We Are Loud People

We are people,

First off.

People that for decades

have screamed into the abyss of

wealthy ignorance.

We have lent voices far and wide

without results.

We have carved mountains with the 

news

and built communities with our voices.

We have succeeded

and lost

in battles that you decide their importance.

Why?

We

The

People

Already decided their importance when we

wanted to dedicate time to the cause.

We don't need your opinion unless you want to 

yell along with us.

But you don't,

Do you?

You're the ones with the chains

and locks.

With the safes

and embezzlements.

With the fair skin you abuse

like it gives you a reason.

I have the fair skin without needing

validation by the levels of melatonin

in my skin.

But you do?

What gives you the right,

to act like we need permission to speak?

I don't think anything does.

I think what you're doing is...

illegal,

but 

We

The

People

will keep our dignity

throughout.

Please be on standby,

as we vouch

for everyone in the stadium

that we built, but you think you fund.
