Entered In The Contest, "Babel," April 9, 2024 Sponsor, Sotto Poet
The sound of silence- writing on the wall; do not disturb their sound of silence song. They turn their back- aversion to the brawl; it's not our problem- license for their wrong. They know, and without looking, close their eyes; it's not our problem- so they shut their ears. The sound of silence rings throughout his cries- the victim now, abandoned, with his fears. The writing on the wall- the message sent; the victim stands alone- his hour of death. Their eyes and ears are shut to his torment; the sound of silence heard in his last breath. It's not our problem, 'sound of silence' screams. Their backs are turned, alone the victim lies; the writing on the wall negates his dreams of strangers who could stop his sad demise. So like a cancer silence soon surrounds- much harder to react than walk away; creates a barrier to sights and sounds. It's not our problem- sounds of silence say.
