When Silence Speaks
when silence speaks
there comes a time
the time when words
matters no more
this too comes
after too many
empty spoken words
there comes a time
the time when we
decide to be silent
for too long
we have been wallowing
in promise full of
empty spoken words
when silence speaks
there comes? a time
this time is a time
decision making
this time is not the
time to take nonsense
this time is am important time
there comes a time
this time is an
alarming time
this time is a time
to weak up
sit up
buckle up
in this time
empty words don't speak
when silence speaks
there comes a time
a time when we need
no more lies
a time when all
we need begin
a time of silence
in reverse
a time when old words
of emptiness can't
captivate us anymore
30th of may
the people of Biafra
choose silence
we choose indoors
we choose to rise
in this time we harm
no one but those
that don't need
we be free
in this time we got
no other way but
to let
silence speak.
