'All I Have Is A Voice'

Stuck inside this modern jungle,
Concrete everywhere.
Meeting other people's standards,
Lay before them bare.

So much more than expectations,
Weighing on my brow.
Doing as They command we here,
Not asking why or how.

A monarch made of foil and fake,
A kingdom made of glass.
Everything in shades if dull grey,
Monochrome or brass.

Opportunities are plenty,
If you're ever silent.
Nothing solved through mercy loves,
It's all about the 'violent'.

Inspired by the line:
'All I have is a voice'
