Prisoners of silence



Prisoners of silence

You can be a wizard or saint
You can be a winner or loser
You are the prisoner of silence
Indulging in a worldly duel
Speech is somebody's forte
And nobody to hear the sermon
Amid noise of polluted minds.

Silence your mind not to oscillate
Silence your soul not to self pity
A time will come to fortify
All you lost in a wavery mood.

We are the empathetic warriors
Speak no truth and lies are aplenty
Hear the white lies shutting all truth
We are prisoners of our silence
We are sellers of our conscience.

We live in a world of deceit
We live as a soul without bondage
We live a life full of irony
We live in a self centric world.
Moments of joy of happiness
Despair the depressed feelings
To fascinate more than real enjoyment
Pondering over in a encircled thread.

The silent soul seek no moorings
Moods of melancholy lignite riots
Chivalrous glory prisons past
True feelings never shy away
The world revolves around deceit
And self pity engulfs wavering mind
Wise never lose wisdom in trivial.

We are prisoners of silence
We are conscience shakers
Paradise lost never reverberate
Paradise gained cover misdeeds.
We are prisoners of silence.
We have prisons within prisons

About this poem

The world rotates in words of wisdom, lies and true lies. The silence of men at high places to the lies of nation and national interest jeopardise the universe Inca big way.
