No wind!

(Only the stale images)
--

The policeman
...
Guarding the bankers' stolen wealth
----

The children cannot breathe
-----

-----

Mothers and fathers!

One mistake away from

Going to jail
----

No wind!

HELL
..

Writing love poems with Pain
----
DIE!

DIE!
I say

We shall be reborn together or not at all

DO NOT LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY!
--
We shall be reborn together and be free

SILENCE
--

Listen!
--

FEAR!

-----

They are watching
Recording.......SILENCE!
---

Silence devoid of PEACE

---

You must rebel

You must come awake

YOU MUST SPEAK!

It would help if
I could see.
I've forgotten my glasses and I can
hardly see the silver-green
of your eyes,
can hardly see the veins in your hands
when you take mine in yours.

It might also help if
I could think.
I see you looking
across the table at me,
my heart leaps,
my stomach drops,
I feel myself getting hot.
My mind goes
Blank.
Even though I can't see the silver-green
of your eyes,
the veins in your hand as you
take mine with yours,
it helps to know.

I knew it.
He was in pain, and hiding it.
I saw it, but was scared
To ask.

Would he get mad at me?
Would he not trust me?
Or tell me?

My love, if you are reading this,
It will get better.
Your friends,
Your family,
And me.
We are all here.

Silence is not golden,
No matter what the movie theater screen says.
Silence is empty,
Hollow,
Sorrowful,
And full of pain.
Speak and Reveal.
