The Screaming voice

Maybe,
Or maybe not
Are you going to the strike?
Or are you heading home?

There’s a commotion in the streets!
I already know!
For the governor decision
The people don’t like at all.

An unjust law
Or just any other fault,
I can see the people screaming:
“That it is not a law at all!”

Then the fifteen of October
Came bringing the town a hope.
A nation that rise in anger,
A nation with common goals.

6 o’ clock,
7 o’ clock,
No one answers
The screaming voice.

8 o’ clock,
9 o’ clock,
No one seems
To care at all.

Then in sorrows
We hear a voice:
“Why are we doing this?
What is the point?”

And in the government
A common though:
“…A voice that screams?
With champagne we toast.”

Is this thing right?
Or is this thing wrong?
Why do we scream?
If they won’t hear us.

Then in my thoughts
A moment of light.
If we doesn’t scream
How will we react?

We who needs a change,
We the people that calls
To the government
We demand some acts.

But, what happened next?
1 o’ clock and fails.
Have even the government
Make another change?

10 o’ clock,
11 o’ clock,
No one answers
The screaming voice.

12 o’ clock,
1 o’ clock,
No one seems
To care at all.
