Our Songs Of Silence



My child,
the song of silence,
rents the air
like mild pandemonium,
a jittery fire
has now awoken
and the seed of courage
has been watered by agitation
there's a wave of hate
roaring like a blizzard
and finally, like a new flame
a spark is born.

The song of silence
in our throats like an itch,
our eyes, blinded
by shivering fear.
oh dear! a little fright
does appear
when death stares us
like a mirror in the face.
and our little hope
is snuffed out
like a trembling candle.

In that moment,
we remember the blisters
that forms on the wrists
the gnawing cold
when our bodies succumbs
to their tortures
and again we retreat,
sniggering like a wolf
staring oblivion
in its cold face.

In our heart is a burden,
anchored to the depth.
like a wrangling chain
our freedom is tied,
conformed like a bird
in secluded skies.
for who is meant to look deep,
to reach to our sinking hands
and spawn us out
of this quagmire?

like beautiful beggars,
our collars are blinking
for they said the future
is dazzling as tomorrow
but tomorrow is unsure
and yesterday has become,
a mirage.
our memories no longer cheer!
for there was a time
when our songs were psalms
and our voices were thunders
hitting decibels and notes

My child,
the song of silence
rents the air,
and a little rancour
arises like the sun
sporadically shooting
to the centre of the sky.
we're encumbered
laden with things that weighs
a ton.
speaking in shivers
and weary of their mighty fists
