Conflict Of Silence
And some would come a-calling
With animals of steel
Their vengeance was their glory
Their fury all would fill
And some would whine for party
Let's spill the wine some more
And I alone would stand there
My heart was towards the door
And some would cry for mercy
While some in drunken rage
Would destroy whatever they stood for
And mourn their mother's grave
And some would look for pity
With eyes as cold as ice
And plea the plea of ages
And try to strike you twice
And now a time is passing
And everything is wrong
The Conflice Is The Silence
of everything that's done
About this poem
A destroyed marriage, the betrayal of "friends, and the heavy solitude of an unwelcome and unwanted new reality set the tone for that which could never be understood, then or now. Although I do not embrace certain events I must always accept, that for me, there is and will always be: A Conflict Of Silence
