Oppressive/PushPull

In all this time,
after all this time,
because of all this time,
all the time,
always,
I am hearing your voice
telling me hush,
telling me shh,
telling me no,
telling me be quiet,
telling me don’t talk,
telling me don’t speak up,
telling me don’t say a word,
and if I
and if we
and if you
and if they
and if everyone
just managed
to keep their heads down
what would we learn
if we never saw the sky?
