Silence

Silence Sometimes, on rare occasions, mere words just seem to fail me And these are often times when I encounter gross stupidity At times like these I find that speaking is just of no avail And so I stare into the faces of those characters who fail To impress me with opinions or their silly rants and raves And find that silence is the best reply to all those noisy knaves My not-so-secret weapon consists of just an icy stare No words are needed to convey the fact that I can’t bear To hear the trash that’s spoken or their wild hypotheses It’s enough to bring a saner man to his intellectual knees So now I simply stare at them until their gaze is broken For my silence tells them what I think and I haven’t even spoken!
