Silence

 

The silence came again today

Took all the words inside away

And left me here alone with me

Quite speechless in this world I see

 

A life not lived is worse than sin

No matter where that life has been

Too often we don't sing our song

Because we're taught that we're not strong

 

From birth the powers stripped away

Ensuring now, just where we'll stay

Denied the tools, the mind though free

Must live a captured 'liberty'

 

No soaring thoughts allowed in here

The state will keep us all from fear

No need to know or ever care

God help you if you're found aware

 

Another kingdom of the lamb

The wolves just love this stupid sham

Is there no warrior we can seek

To end this circus of the meek?
