Silenced

Silence noun meaning a complete absence of sound or the avoidance of mentioning or discussing something. The verb past tense definition is to cause to become silent; prohibit or prevent from speaking. It is amazing how seven maybe eight letters that are put together can be so powerful and with so many definitions behind it. It’s all most a never ending change and we will never know if it will stop and when it may. This nation started with our immigrants silencing the Native Americans, the ones already here. To eventually take over the lands because they crave power, money, and food. Then centuries later they have figured out how to silence the only people that could possibly get it to stop or maybe even change it. But, getting every American to realize we all need to stand up together and to realize what is truly going on we need to do something together. How are they silencing us? Well what device is close to you at the moment? The cell phone and that is the number one way and the other one involves a great big black box in the living room providing none stop entertainment. We are driven for more money more expensive things and power we have the less free time or anytime for play per-say. Guess what, that is what they want they want to silence us and we are allowing it. They are silencing us and in turn we are silencing ourselves from seeing the truth, the ones around us, and ultimately we will lose who we are. Then we will have zombies walking around staring at a box in their hand. With silence all around us and the us not seeing it is the worst part of it. Until we wake up and see what is going on this will only get worse.
