The Silence

They tortured her,
Young Ada- Grace,
They took her life and youth away,
Along with tongue and ways to say,
The words she held so dear.

She misses it,
Young Ada- Grace,
Has no way to communicate,
Her speeches, though, were just more bait,
The government made us hear

The silences,
Miss Ada- Grace,
Will never let them slip away,
A new dialect she helped create,
To make mute language clear.
