Silence,
Can become an oppressing violence,
Fascinating word,
In a fascinating world,
Silence can speak clarity the loudest,
Confusingly it can also speak the cloudiest,
It can be a helpful mask,
When knowledge is called to task,
Hiding the ignorance,
Shielding the arrogance,
It can be a knife,
It can save a life,
It can fuel injustice,
Sanction every prejudice,
It can mean there is no voice,
There is no noise,
It could also mean we cannot hear,
Even though it is so near,
And the voice so clear,
In the same vein God's silence,
Is when we are so caught up in self and violence,
That His voice is drowned,
Where self is crowned.
