Silence Is Sound

Dread and doubt has enslaved me
                          Calamity and tragedy has absconded my peace
                              Trepidation and fright has held me captive
                       Ill repute and indignity now hold my heart for ransom
                         Humiliation and degradation have stolen my youth
                     Fraudulence and treachery have tarnished my truth
                        Malevolence and malice have manifested all around
                          Silence and stillness are now a dreaded sound

wow, first of all, i sat and pondered... OK, you know, solitude is the magnitude and the institute in which great attitudes reach their altitude... really, silence is vocal... it is a sound.
