Words

Where the scratch of something when ink was soot as they searched

not for your words but you opposed by living

and still oppose

but as people who will live from you

use memories

without understanding

without understanding

When does the quiet come
Before they come
Afterwards someone else has gone

Why is it quiet

Why was I born
What did I do wrong
But exist

I stay here for another day

It could almost be a relief
To be found

And sent with the rest
So I could have someone I could feel with me

Before death

My personal comments

When everyone has succeeded in killing everyone who doesn't disagree with them

Who manages your banking

Does make you wonder.
Enjoyed the read.

We have to stop this mentality that wont let people get on with their daily lifes

Megolomanics in need of a brain job can only have money if some other idiot

Cant understand

That maybe owning Chelsea or Fulham injures less people per exchange currency per ego

It seems to have become the rule that genuine reporters can be killed, words and the outlets controlled - UK, Thailand, Iran, Iraq

People hounded for writing truth and honoured for toeing a party line when it isn't the truth that matters but who you support.

Attacking and threatening those who disagree with you, rather than having the courage to learn.

The poem started because my mind moved to someone who having written something might then be hunted because they spoke the truth, and the feelings they might feel as others who felt the same, were dealt with.

I am not of any pro or anti war, or tabloids where people can be assaulted by cameras etc

I just felt that with people speaking the truth being killed around the world that some words came into my head and I wrote
