Speak up.
Let the words
Roll off your tounge
Protest the things
You think are wrong
Argue, Debate
Don’t hang fire
The moment will
Soon expire
And leave you with
Your complaints
Speak up.
The microphone waits.

i think its relatively good but some of the lines dont seem to fit together but i do like the meaning of it... standing up for what u believe in and stuff like that...yeah...groovy

The more people that I can make EXTREMELY uncomfortable, the better

I like it, the message is clear .

I am not real crazy about the last line .

Before I print it out for my icebox I will change it to , “ The time is now “

I don’t believe (complaints  and waits) are a rhyme  anyhow , so none of the rhythm is lost .

You tell somebody to speak up, but you never explain why.

Just one suggestion.

The microphone waits.

The microphone awaits.

Brad, he was telling us to “ Protest the things you think are wrong “ not that you or I needed

him to tell us that.
