Silence

Silence is not golden, but a leaden weight
effectively repressing freedom of speech.
Accepting dictates without proper debate,
silence builds a barrier your voice can't breach.
We live in a world where we fabricate facts,
and our friends are merely computer contacts.
Silence isn't a shield; it cannot protect you:
you must speak up for what you know to be true.

Silent One Date: 6/25/2020 6:51:00 AM There is a time for silence and a time to speak. I agree we live in a fabricated world, especially a lot of things in the media.. Silence will not protect you in injustice, but it does help the mind with spirituality and calm.. Congratulations on your placement in the contest..
