That is dead which
Can no longer arise
Or the look coming from
The depths of colorless eyes
That gaze upon one
Who is suddenly so despised

Yet speaking the truth
With words at first fair to hear
But cascade increasingly
Into tired and broken ears
Pursuing with relentless fervor
The sound of audible tears

Silence is to blinding light
What darkness is to a shout
As dying is to living
From hand to open mouth
And holding back in suppression
Explodes ten fold when finally let out

The eyes are not alive
The ears are closed
And mouth opened wide

This was simply terrific! How very true this entire message is. I can turn off my ears in about one second flat, to someone who spouts useless, or hurtful words. Well done!
