My third grade teacher
used this phrase often
I never understood It
BUT I knew it mean
Be quiet shush
NOW with what is going on in the world
it takes on the opposite meaning.
IF you catch my drift.

SILENCE
IS                     GOLD
SO
GET              RICH
QUICK

In the face of injustice we must stand for what we believe in
for what is morally right honest and decent
united we stand divided we will fall
