I Wish I Had A Louder Voice Poem by Angelica Duardo

The fight for power
Has never been stronger
And never so many
Have said: “it’s enough! ”

Can you tell me what’s on their minds?
They make us believe that they do it for others
And it doesn’t matter how long are the hours
I still sleep with the fear of the nuclear powers

Some dress in gold (and they it eat too)
Other dress in silver (and they dream of gold)
While the rest of the world
Cries for some clothe
While they eat a stale cold hungry horse

I wish I had a louder voice
Or just the guts to let them know
That we can’t go on like this
Living life without respect
Taking away everything we take

For how long won’t we dare
To say that we really do care
And that we no longer can take
This human-less way of spending our lives
This helpless way of bringing ourselves down

I think it has been enough
We need to take a stand and demand for it to stop
We ought to let them know
That they won’t fool us anymore
