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....
