Silence can be the greatest answer or the worst of evils
It is the absence of truth, it is the purest of statements
Silence is not quiet, it abandons its shame into a bottle and shatters it under its feet
Silence is wrong, yet it does right in the eyes of the angry and discontent
Silence is kisses on the feet of the oppressed
It is the strength that raises the oppressors
Silence is dust under your feet, the salt in the ocean
Silence is our fear, our love, our panting voice behind the bars of your inhibitions
Silence is our hungry hearts that cannot beat and smother words of the ones who hurt
Let their be sound
Let the gnashing of teeth among the wicked and damned be heard
let the cries of the children and devils and saints be heard
and break the silence of our world, for there are no righteous men
and there are no living gods
