What have you accomplished?
With these beautiful words
laced with truth and lye
burning the eyes of the reader.

They won't read anymore,
they've found a mirror in your words
and they'd hate to look into it.

They'll break all the pens in the world,
let the ink spill out everywhere
create the ends
to their means.

Till they're standing there
with the shovel in their hands,
wondering why they feel so empty
after they got the silence they wanted.

But silence is never golden.

Just because you believe
a piece of fruit is plastic,
doesn't mean it won't rot.

Well done, nicely crafted and it drives home a message.

Just because you believe

That line is timeless. Thank you for the powerful read. A million cheers - Ed
