voiceless



when you’ve been told you have nothing to say 

because

you no longer do productive work 

because

you are idle 

because

you no longer have value

because

you are sacrificial

because

you add nothing 

because

your voice is a mere whisper 

because

your commentary makes no sense 

because

your words hold no relevance 

because

your mind has narrowed 

because 

your world shrank 

because

you no longer cared

because

you were done 

because

productive work is endless

because

it goes on and on with or without you 

because

there are always new projects 

because

clever people have ideas

because

other clever people fall by the wayside 

because

work multiplies 

because

the puritans say it must 

because

the world will end without it 

because

arbeit macht frei work sets you free 

because

you can jump on and off at will 

because

you choose solitude

because

you choose quiet 

because

you want to
