Scared for my country
My children
Myself
Scared for the future
The female body
Our health
Scared for the children
The hungry
The brave
Scared for humanity
Civility
The strain
Scared for the authors
The warriors
The law
Scared that our voices
Will be silenced
Unheard
Scared that the tyrants
Will mute
Our last words
Scared to be silent
Scared to speak up
Scared to scream that
Enough is enough
Scared that our hopes
Our dreams
Will be dashed
Scared that our future’s
A thing
Of the past
Scared for the hardships
Coming
Our way
Scared that the hand-basket
To Hell’s
On its way
Yet despite
My fear
The going will be tough
The days ahead
Will seem dark
And definitely rough
I’m more scared to be silent
Less scared to speak up
I’m scared enough to scream
Enough is Enough!
