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 hear the waiting silence Annihilation of yourself You don’t need books upon your shelf 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 I Pray for peace.........and that someone is listening! Jon Mewett |
