The Tree Did Not Make a Sound

" If a tree falls in  a forest, and no one hears it, did it really make a sound?"

Philospohy questions , they are always asked 

In the class with the teacher , that every sentence is a test

They achieved the goal of getting me to think deeper

But deeper is deeper, and the depths of my thoughts is not usually where I am willing to go

 

 I can ask myself the same 

 If I fall in a forest of what I believe is right

 but no one hears what I am willing to fight

Did I ever make a sound, did i ever make a difference

Did I ever really believe in what is right

 

So I call myself to stand

And state my opinion 

Watch as people look at me , and ask why I am different

I want to stand for women's rights, not as a woman , but as a human in the right.

One ant never eats more food than the other

At least not when they are the same in every effort

I want to stand for the earth 

Let us use our energy more efficiently 

Not have greed in our minds , when the goal is to save the trees

Let us learn from the past and make things better

Lets keep it together , for our precious Mother Nature. 

I want to stand for child abuse 

Let every voice ring 

Keep these children loved 

I want to stand for Human Rights

Why do we fight against people being togther

Is it simply because of their gender?

Who are we to throw away love

If it makes you uncomfortable look the other way 

Religion, our founding , the reputation ,those are the reasons

Let us be a congress that made no difference? 

 

Do not be a tree that is not heard

Say what you must ,like a bird 

Let people hear you 

Let them know what you stand for

A tree with out a voice 

A tree with out choice

It falls , with no one around

Then it is asked " Did you really make a sound?"

Make a sound . Make a difference.
