why does evil make noise 'n protest whilst goodness tiptoes by unnoticed? why is bad raucous and loud but good hides itself in a crowd?
why is G-d's voice stiller than water, a silent whisper, caress in the ether, whilst devil's beguile persists till the slaughter as constant chime, incessant bleeper?
It's the same reason that gold need not shout, to tell you its worth, prestige and clout, why a gem or diamond is entombed in coal, and sought after 'n quarried from deepest She'ol.
Why speech is silver and silence is golden, why pride seeks fanfare and sin is bolden, whilst holiness shies away from publicity as from pernicious poison 'n toxicity
it's the secret of fruit, the light in the shell, the clapper and chain in the hand-bell, the spirit and soul, alive and well, that animates fibre, muscle and cell
it's the secret of light travelling faster than sounds though laser power confounds and astounds in short, if you're quiet you'll understand the secret that upholds seas, heaven and land.
