The Voices of Democracy
All Together
One voice among a crowd
Is not very loud
Even with a megaphone
It will not be heard
Amidst the cacophony
Of noises and static
Surrounding them
***
One voice among a crowd
Cannot get their message across
Because no one will listen
To the lone coot in the street
Shouting their pleas
Of doom and gloom
***
But one voice joined by another
And then another
And yet another
Soon becomes a wave
That cuts through the sounds
Of the urban jungle
***
When one voice is joined
By another
And another
And another
Their voices raise above the rest
And the crowd is forced to listen
***
When one voice is joined
By others
They plant the seeds of change
In the cracks of the cement
Where they might one day sprout
Into a movement
That even the dissenters cannot ignore
