Our Obligation

Veronica Numesubb
Huston-Tillotson; Spring 2010

Cultivating our voice
Because we have a choice
Thinking like there is no one but you to make the plan
Having someone in your mind and make it plain.
Voice! Voice! Voice!
It’s essential because it is life
Having a life without a voice is no life
Thinking of a life without a voice takes a plan
A plan to save life and help others speak their mind
Helping others is like helping yourself
Make a choice to cultivate that plan.
Take a chance
Like it’s a glance
Into a life you never thought existed
Just like when someone is busted
Thinking like there is no one but you to make the plan
Think of the plan, then you’ll have a voice
Voice! Voice! Voice!
It’s essential, because it’s life
This is more than a cultivation
Because it’s our obligation
