Neutrality
No words from my mouth,
no sound uttered from my lips,
silence, sweet succumbing silence
it clears one mind from unnerving thoughts
curtails curiosity, creates a refuge
where one may stand still
in comfortable unmoved limbo
I will not stand for what is right,
or what is wrong;
I will not choose between the two
My opinions matter not,
nor will I make my thoughts known
But neutrality never satisfies
submersed secreting anger lies beneath its surface
no stance at all is still a stance,
one accomplishing nothing,
yet provoking both sides
to war with it
