Inspired By Today's Poem of the Day

"The Moment of Silence" by: Eric L. Boddie After every disaster, flags are often flown at half mast And a moment of silence is given for those who entered the past Silence, itself, is a most powerful thing It denies prison to the birds who refuse to sing A moment of silence to a thief, well, that's all he needs To acquire what's yours, leaving you with material grief A moment of silence from the bully and the pain will cease And maybe he will understand that it is wrong to feed the beast We need a moment of silence from all the haters, they know who I'm talking about That way, they can stop getting smacked in the mouth And last but not least as you receive this moment of silence from me I hope I left your minds with thought provoking serenity....
