Enough go quietly
No, I will not go quietly
without having my say,
I have listened to your words
beating me down,
Yes I will go, but not on
your say,
If I stay, I surely will,
under your words drown,
But I will not go quietly,
You, who are self-proclaimed
know it all’s,
Shouting your rhetoric from
your podium,
No, you will not see me fall,
I have found my voice I know
who I am,
You can push but I will not
go quietly,
Use all your tricks, for I have
seen them at play,
Too long I have sat in my
quiet little box,
No longer do you have
anything of worth to say,
I have taken way too many of
your hard knocks,
I am awake and will not go
quietly,
Having woken from my long
suffering slumber,
Taken all the tough times you
have dished out,
Thought long and hard I now
have your number,
What once was a whisper has
grown into a shout,
Perhaps I will go but you
will be leaving quietly,
You have poked this sleeping
beast once too often,
And had no response for far
too long,
The anger festered and will
not now soften,
Noisily singing a different
song,
As you leave look back this
beast is awake,
No more bending to your do or
die rule,
Nor your use of tactics best
kept for war,
This once sleeping beast is
no such fool,
You are no leader you have
gone too far,
Say farewell now it’s time to
go quietly.
