Use it or Lose it

You’ve got a voice,
But silence is your choice.
You’ve got a gift,
That can the weary lift.
Dig it out of that pit,
The world is in need of it.

You’ve got a pen,
That humbles a thousand men.
You have the words,
That can heal our world.
Don’t leave it lying around;
Dig it out of that ground.

You can take a stand,
Don’t let the world pull down your hand.
The revolutionary flag is being flown,
Do not be afraid to stand alone.
The people of the world are rising;
You don’t want to be caught napping.
