Silence: The Silent Killer

June 17, 2018

SILENCE; OUR SILENT KILLER

Silence the emblem of the dead
A killer diseases
A stigma that kills living
And buries existence in stagnation
Can we escape this spiral?
Which  has been a weapon of mass destruction
like locust that feasted on fear of no words
The end of  a living world
Silence brings
As it shrinks the eye to blindness
The vision  becomes  blurr
Where is the future?
Lost!
Silence is a silent killer
As it romances the agitation in you to death
Flee! Run!  Escape!

Silence: Our Silent Killer

Dark and dark
Black and black
Smoke and smoke
Coal and coal
The brains get blocked

Red with liquid
Pours and drains
Veins leak out
Cold iron it is called
It sealed our lips

Cavity closed
Teeth clinched
Salty from the eyes
Pulse raised
Silence sealed destiny

Cavity opened
Teeth ajar
Salty dries
Pulse restored
Life restored
