Make the Silence Linger On
Please make the silence linger on.
If un-wanted and un-needed pain is what's engraved in me,
make me def and numb.
Excessive pride is detrimental to empathy & sympathy.
Emotional & physical pain are involved in such violence,
your never-ending rage is riotous.
To be relentless is to intentionally cause others pain.
while they themselves still hope in vain.
They feel your wrath.
It destroys the people you lord over
Because of these attitudes, actions, and intentions
those around you become inflamed with pain.
Confusion & anger engulf the victims of your fury.
Tears are inevitable in such emotional build up and
constant exposure to such violent circumstances.
All this pain inherited by an ancient mistake that affects the human race.
The pain for one who is chained by unfavorable circumstances, is flagrant & true.
The length of the pain minimizes ones strength
as if all their effort's in vain.
It gives way to tears
and exposes fears.
If this be my fate, please make the silence linger on.
