My Voice

My voice is a voice in the desert,
my voice is a voice from the grave.
My voice is
yellowed parchment.
My voice is
ancient.
My voice is
loud.
My voice is
hushed.
My voice is
angry.
My voice is
kind.
My voice is civilized,
my voice is wild.
My voice is naked,
my voice is young,
my voice is old.
My voice is female,
my voice is male.
My voice is strong,
my voice is weak.
My voice speaks truth
to the true,
and lies
to the liars.
My voice shrieks
on the wind,
and whispers
in silence.
My voice is a strong hand
squeezing the neck
of the oppressor.
My voice kills fascists.
My voice drinks whiskey
from a boot.
My voice
is yours.
My voice
is yours.

Minha voz é sua.
Mi voz es tuya.
Ma voix est à toi.
Min vojs er din.
מייַן קול איז דייַן.
Mia voĉo estas via.
我的声音是你的。
मेरी आवाज़ तुम्हारा है।
