Silence

the loudest voice of all

is Silence

she won't speak,

because they won't listen

what a funny world

he won't talk,

because they won't care

what a silly earth

he's an old man

trying to warn the world

but he's given up

because his voice

won't break

the shouts

and cries

of a

hopeless

world

she's a young girl

with night monsters every night

her father says

they're dreams

her mother says

they're not real

but the girl

is still

tormented

she won't speak

he won't talk

because the world

won't

listen.
