Unwritten Absence

Unwritten absence, Does silence speak? Does silence fix problems? A person who wants to conceive a good thought He " she" can find a quiet place for meditation. When it comes to ill-treated people ... speaking out method...helps. Why am I speaking this? Why am I speaking that? Why can I keep silent? What can be the reason of owning a poetic pen If I don't share pains of some folks through poetry? Is there any rule which can condemn a servant God when he " she" stands to speak for some folks? Oh! love , loving just  and unjust  people It is happy so happy to share  this short story with many folks. Unwritten absence of love and kindness, A teen black girl participated at the schools tournament of Ireland. Their team reached final, she was among the best players who made the  team to reach so far. by surprise, only one black player could not get a medal. Unwritten absence of happiness as she looked at the cameraman when he was shooting her colleagues with medals on their necks on the podium in the stadium,  Many people were laughing at her. Imagine the trauma of this innocent black teenager who played hard and ended up being played due to her skin colour. Some adults continue to promote racial discrimination on the face of the World. Imagine the lesson the tournament organisers taught thousands of white teenagers who were present. Didn't she have right for medal trophy as they were winners? Her parents sued the school for such injustice The school principal and teachers ended up presenting  many excuses. Unwritten absence of respecting human rights, as she was not the first black teen to be  ill-treated and continue  living with trauma.  maltreatment always wreak havoc on the lives of numerous folks.
