Hey, don’t just stand there; make some noise,
It’s high time that you raised your voice.

Listen to voices that winds make,
Else it will be too late to break;
Look at those distant fires that burn,
Time and tide, they say, wait for none.

You don’t just stand there; make some noise,
Make some noise now and raise your voice.

Don’t let them rule and take control,
Else your sound will be a broken roll;
Don’t let them shuffle you around,
It is your right to stand your ground.

You can’t just stand there; make some noise,
Before it’s too late, raise your voice.

Have waited long, the seeds are sown,
Now it’s your turn, let it be known;
Make your move now, without ado,
Can’t wait for none, else you shall rue.

I implore you to make some noise,
Now before it’s late, raise your voice.

.....

This one is for all those who keep silent under severe adversity, may it be from bad/rogue husbands, bad/rogue societies, bad/rogue governments, bad/rogue powers, etc. There are far too many silent voices out there...  It is high time that they woke up and spoke up for their rights. ...

Thanks for coming by,
Regards,
Sudhir

(big hugggsssssss) This is so very heartwrenchingly powerful, sweet friend, this too makes me think of how so many people in the world don't participate in the polls or vote, and how we should all vote to support our governments and speak out how we really feel! (sigh) This is emotionally powerful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sudhir, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
