JWG's Tomorrow Today —I'll Keep Speaking (a poem)

I’ll Keep Speaking

I was politely told to be
The Person I was, with the brain
That I had, to communicate
Honesty and fruitful logic
To People who needed my help.

When I try to assist,
My emotional pleas
Are ignored and wasted.
My words have no power
To ignorant Others.

I’ll keep speaking.
If one Person
Ever listens
I will not know.
I will see change.
