Muted By Authority
They never predict the consequences
Of their hurtful words;
To them, cruelty is a way
In order to make all pay!
You all have witnessed how it goes;
No need to tell you how;
Just rewind in mind the old days
And try to figure why!
We think we had it all,
Reached the end of the road
And believing we should stop,
We miss ourselves behind!
It should not block the path;
Life really does go on;
Yet, once it is all said out loud,
Can it be turned down once more?
She fired her comments in cold blood,
Kept stabbing with a smile;
She never thought of hiding the venom
Of her so-called advice!
He sat there stunned;
Aggravated by all means;
To him this was the final halt
Crawling with slow steps!
You all may be wondering,
And questioning about
The truth behind the identity
The poem talks about!
I am the one who stuttered
And sweated with every breath
I know not why I stayed silent
All I know that I was forcibly
Muted by Authority!
