Silence

Silence........
Before the storm, and when it's gone...
Intense silence.......
They say it speaks louder than words but no one really cares to listen....

Tear stained faces, silent cries......
The silence of abused beings.....
The silence of the weak and poor,
The silence of the defeated and the have-nots,
the silence of innocent people who have gone behind bars for absolutely nothing...
Do you hear it?????

Words have been spoken with so much emptiness and lies...
Promises of great somethings
Turned into nothingness....

All there is left out here is profound quietness.....
Words never to be spoken

I have heard the silence  of a great hatred amongst nations and races...
The silence of intimate love
The silence of wearied friendship...
The silence of broken hearts and tormented souls..
The silence of spiritual crisis and failure...

Still waters run deep and so is the silence that comes with night.....
Screams of silence behind closed doors from voices that cannot be heard......
Silence..................
A truth that should be forbidden to be a mystery ...
