Silence



Violence inherent
Quality of Silence
Tests Endurance
Of real Emotions

Causes interpretations
Never stands evidence
Delivered judgements
Polarized due to providence

Present in Abscence
Abscence in Presence
Logical even in Paradox
Healing and Toxic unorthodox

Silence of the mind
Lifetime of blessing
Imposed on words
Disguised and ambiguous

Real and fake
What one makes
Often misunderstood
What the other takes

Ignore and respect
Silence at ones behest
Both roles perfect
Functional Duality
Questions our Morality
Interpretations infinity

First word learnt
At home and class
Reaches target
Perspective forget

Brings with it Quiet
Along with self respect
Double edged sword
Cuts without a word

Blows the ear
Loud and clear
Silence with it words
Unspoken but heard

Sounds and Words
Spoken and heard
Fights with Silence
Looses patience

Silence brings Silence
Sounds noises as pillions
For it to bring meaning
Add an honest emotion
