Silence…
Listen to the violence.
Silence…
Hear the whistle,
Of a missile.
Silence…
Hear the gunshots,
That ties bones into knots.
Silence…
Soldiers at war,
Watch them as they fall to the floor.
Silence…
Listen to the mother’s cry,
As she watches her children die.
Silence…
Watch the gunman pull the trigger,
With his finger.
Silence…
The man who saw everything,
Everything that has happened before,
But says he saw nothing,
And does not want to talk about it anymore.
Silence…
Watch a crime, when on the scene,
Voices in your mind, what does this mean?
Silence…
No one speaks,
For murders been happening every week.
Silence…
Watch a plane as it crashes,
Listen to the people’s cries as they burn to ashes,
Watch as your life flashes,
And become nothing but ashes.
Silence…
Watch the man as he takes one last hit of the crystal meth,
Watch the man as he inhales his one last breath,
Watch the man, as he drops to his death.
Silence…
Watch the world as it crumbles,
Help the baby walk every time it stumbles,
Listen to every word that I mumble.
Silence…
Listen to the cries,
Of all the lives,
That had been taken away,
Every night and day.
Silence…
Listen to all the screams,
Of all the people who had hopes and dreams.
Silence…
Watch as the blood drips,
And feel as your heart rips.
Silence…
Listen to the silence,
The silence that brought us nothing but violence,
The silence that created many fears,
The silence that produced many tears,
The silence that’s been going on for years.

Silence…
Took your breath away.
Silence…
Listen to what I say.
Silence…
There’ll be better days.
Silence…
Everything will be okay.
Silence…
Please don’t fade away.
Silence…
Did you hear what I said?
Silence…
Why are you on that hospital bed?
Silence…
Please, don’t tell me that you are dead.
Silence…
