Reach out,
They told me to reach out,
Don’t be afraid,
They said,
You will be heard,
I took them at their word,
So I did as I was bid,
And,
Nothing,
Nothing was heard,
I spoke with silence,
For my words,
Were lost in the vacuum,
I beat them,
Against a wall of silence,
Broken only,
By feeble agreement,
With wrongs,
Never to be righted.
An alliance,
Of power,
Against which,
I am nothing.
