“Voice for the Voiceless” 

I should be glad to have a voice
My thoughts they can be heard.
I should be glad to have a voice
The ability of forming words

I should be glad to have a voice
Since out there some have none.
Their cry for help is all ignored
They die one after one.

I should be glad to have a voice
And make the people listen,
To make them change of what is wrong
And do better for a difference.

I give my voiceless peers my hand
Their eyes are filled with fear.
I, with my voice, will raise awareness
The people need to hear.

I should be glad to have a voice
And let their thoughts be heard.
What they can’t say themselves for all
My mouth says word for word.

James Aspey turned silent for a whole year in order to raise awareness of animal’s helplessness in the cruelty they have to face.
