Simple Silence Sparks Safety
When needs no longer pity your desire,
When face rarely smile to jokes so funny,
When stomach longs for food to fill its sack,
When beasts act like sheep justly to be fed,
Such needs burn out water to quench its fire...
Such face holds tears off while chasing money...
Such stomach pins pains to fasting attack...
Such beasts stage their gentleness to go red...
What else could needs help when desire can't stand.
What else would face smiles at when jokes ain't wealth.
What else can please stomach if food ain't grand.
What else will beasts act if calmness ain't stealth.
For the peace of tease to last nights of grace,
Then silence should be enough to set pace.
