The Higher Order of Prudence
The man must be a fool or an extra prudent who
Spreads around teaching that silence is gold
It has in it the real meaning of the world
And wise are those who keep silence when all around there is chaos
And advocates people to listen more and talk less
As in listening less risk is involved
And more opportunity of gaining it provides
Overlooking the precious art of talking
Even he goes on claiming that silence speaks volumes
Never taking into account that even in preaching the merits of silence
He uses words; he speaks a lot and creates numerous sounds
The paradox is amusing
But it turns poison to those who need support at the time of their troubles
In the time of oppression they all need is your voice
Your rising voice could frighten a dictator
Even a clamour could drive away a wrong doer
Let alone to those who are dying to hear your hello
When a silence admirer goes around provoking us to be silent
He forgets one thing more
That is the basic principle of life that teaches us that
Every situation of life has its levels, stages, steps and angles
To rise up to reach to its point of zenith
Or to go down to the its point of nadir
There are many steps to cross to understand a single point
Many stages has a single event to pass through
To realise its cause of occurrence
And that mono cause might have many angles to look at it to get a real shot
Let alone the metamorphosing phases of a single issue to talk about
Moreover, each mind has its own order
To reflect upon the essence of realization
In the higher order of prudence the screen demands to us
To reveal our thoughts
To give a clear the picture of life at the time of troubling haziness.
