Voices
Thursday Poetry Prompt — Voices
“A choir is made up of many voices, including yours and mine. If one by one all go silent then all that will be left are the soloists. — Vera Nazarian
A thousand miles
in an inhibited land
she shouts, but could not be heard.
It was cold, people had their ears covered
covers not made of wool
but iron
For centuries she spoke
despite her locked lips
but still could not be heard
Voices have been trapped
in minds
trying to find an outlet
