Guilty of Silent Complicity

From the shallow ruins of Man's soul to the blindness of hearts that we sold to the flightless voices without a goal tears we don't shed, a world dark and cold. Is our sorrowed silence waiting have we placed our hearts on hold Are our fickle thoughts worth berating Time to take our hearts in from the cold? We have no dignity left to lose we lost it with Man's silence every battle we did not choose made the world guilty of compliance. Are we done with the battles we never fought bedded down in our beloved legoland building empires out of speeches that end in nought or was our ruin just carefully staged, well planned? Plasticine politicians toothless from decay molded by greed, feeding eyes until they are blurred go follow in their footsteps , I will not walk your way I cannot live in silence my voice it shall be heard.

Right On! great poetry, my friend. I've heard it said, "silence is consent." I don't remember who first said it, but on some level, it is very true. I enjoy reading your poetry today, FQ. Bill p.s. I'm following your poetry now. You got another one. :-)

If only that were true, stupidly seems an easier sell, who knows maybe one day the world will wake up. Z
