listen- can you hear it a deafening silence the atmosphere cries out for attention longing to be heard listen and answer in silent recognition -vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet. -vlraynes |

Hi I like your poem It's short and powerful. Thought you might like this. Tyrants reign across this world Nations with their flags unfurled By politicians insults are hurled Can’t they hear the waiting silence? Children starving wracked and thin Their flesh is creeping hanging skin Their woeful cries a screeching din Don’t you hear the waiting silence? Asylums stretched the prisons’ full The sullen atmosphere is dull Will nature next the sapiens cull Can’t you here the waiting silence Annihilation of your self You don’t need books upon your self The end is moving slow with stealth Don’t you hear the waiting silence? The statues shout of victories pride Appeasement with excuses hide Justification is just a ride Don’t they hear the waiting silence? Realisation in chaotic fear The truth as always been so near In watercolour painted clear We’re from the waiting silence We know these truths..........keep writing them down and who knows? Jon |
