Speak Up (Give me the voice)

Because we all want a say in this world. Something I wrote a couple of years ago.

Give me the voice of a thousand pictures
So I may speak with a million words

Give me strength to write as the angels sing

So I may match the harmony of birds

 

Give me the courage of soldiers in wars

So I may speak against those who start them

Give me the sight to see the bleak future

So I may help the blind through the mayhem

 

Give me the spirit of the fallen heroes

So I may speak in pride of what they gave

Give me the heart in every white wedding
So I may reach my own bitter-sweet grave

 

Give me just one more thing in this rare world
Even if this is the only thing gained

Give me the words of every poet
and every writer
and every lover
So I may change the world, if just for you

Author's Note

One picture has 1000 words, so 1000 pictures have 1 million words :)

This is yet again another amazing write by you! It flows well and creates the picture your trying to get across. The first to lines had me hooked and it was a shame it ended so soon cause I really wanted to keep reading! It's short and simple which makes it all the more better. The very last line ends this piece amazingly. Keep up your amazing writing :)

Great job mate :P love the rhyming scheme and the words! It seems very solemn i feel that you want to change the world! and your right, the world does need to change and you portray it seamlessly. Excellent write!

This is absolutely awe-inspiring, and I love it!
It was short enough to not drag on forever, yet interesting enough to want to read more.
The ideas that you have portrayed are fantastic. And you've made your want to change the world painfully obvious.
If only more people that live in this world felt the way that you so obviously do, maybe so many things wouldn't be wrong :) Good write!

Wow...
You took the simple techniques of repetition and the "a, b, a, b" format, and made something beautiful (:
This is getting favourited.
