The Silence of Sound


Prostitute walks lonely streets alone, in the early hours
  just to feel hope, in a yellow sunrise in... silence

Couple fighting through the night, paying no attention to the little girl
  hiding in the closet, holding her hands to her ears in... silence

Little boy on a bench, terrified of another school day of being bullied 
  for now, he wishes this day would be over in..silence

He walks the garden, sweating blood, as his life is about to end
  he's giving up his life, so other's can be free, prays in...silence

As the refugees flee for freedom in overcrowded boats to small
  lifeless bodies fill the ocean's edge. We held our breath in...silence

They're all marched for peace and intolerance, till the familiar sound 
  of gunshots sent people running to hide in...silence

In silence we all just stood by,

Silently we did nothing,  

Listening for the sound!

Of... silence
