Silence Is Traitorous

Humans need words with sounds And then hear the tone of your voice They want to analyze the picture on your face And not to suspect you wrongly Even though you are angered Or have failed, speak a word A word of peace and not revenge In what situation but must be understood Humans want a response Negative or positive They are relieved or angered But that is what it takes Words have hands of thorns And they sit not They are wide ranged They are heard, understood and misunderstood They run so faster than the bullet But silent response brings confusion Silence accepts all defeat But a word makes us happy We need to hear words And from our leaders, And elders and our friends And from our loved ones
