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

some bugger stole me sometimes youth, and cantered off without the proof, and i'm not for philandering, just for countermanding, great poem babe, Don

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.
