Silence Is Golden

They're blasting, and looking for gold
Yeah, some riches that they could hold
No feeling for
Quiet no more
Don’t believe silence is their mold

Yep, silence can't be their mold!! I think your meter was pretty good in this one, Russel. Let me check out your other one.

I am sorry. Do you know the earth screams every time she is attacked in that manner. I believe she does. Now you will know I am crazy. Strong statement poem.
