Voice of the Voiceless 

 



I am the voice of the voiceless: Through me, the dumb shall speak;
Till the deaf world's ear be made to hear, The cry of the wordless weak. 

>From street, from cage and from kennel, From jungle, and stall, the wail
Of my tortured kin proclaims the sin, Of the mighty against the frail. 

Oh shame on the mothers of mortals, Who have not stopped to teach
Of the sorrow that lies in dear, dumb eyes, The sorrow that has no speech. 

And I am my brother's keeper, And I will fight his fight;
And speak the word for beast and bird, Till the world shall set things right. 

-Ella Wheeler Wilcox, 1850-1919
