Silence is deafening

What do you hear when you don’t have a job?

What do you hear after your housing was shot into?

What do you hear when your new job has been outsourced?

What do you hear when there is no extra money at Christmas?

What do you hear when you are a teacher who finally had enough?

What do you hear if your town is suffering from the effects of poverty?

What do you hear when you can’t afford property taxes on family land?

What do you hear when you are a nurse watching the country give up?

What do you hear when you are a cop exhausted after a hard shift?

What do you hear when your child is constantly bullied at school?

What do you hear when you come home from war wounded?
