Suffer In Silence Poem by Kelvin Rush

We live in a world where it's cool to be led
Walking in line like the living dead
We shop all day long and watch endless tv
It's weak to be strong and wrong to be free

We suffer in silence we cannot digest
The love and the violence and the ones we detest
We're drugged up sucked up trodden down oppressed
We're sheep-like immoral heartbroken depressed

We hide around the corner where no one can see
So weak and so blinded by force and decree
We drown without trace controlled by the gun
It's an utter disgrace but nothing is done

We squirm like an animal caught in the trap
An innocent victim a heartless attack
Screaming in pain hoping someone will hear
Too weak to complain swimming in fear

Our minds are diseased after all the abuse
We try to appease all the hell we produce
We know something's wrong but we still carry on
We bury our heads and sing the same old song

We go round and round with no end in sight
Bound and gagged full of hatred and spite
Looking for guidance to heal our soul
Enraged full of violence out of control

We're riddled with pain asthmatic obese
We can't explain why cancer is on the increase
The toxic air pollution that's killing everyone
Premature deaths it's only just begun

Wealth distribution to keep us all down
Isolate the solution act like a clown
Pretend you're the cure then unleash all the violence
All we can do is suffer in silence
