Quiet, No Voices
Quiet, no voices
Except for
Pencils moving across paper
Faint sounds in the other room
9:15 1st period started
Now kids are working
Quietly no sound
Thinking about what to write
Voices start talking
When the teacher says to
Discussing what they wrote
Sharing with each other
Suddenly quiet
The teacher is teaching
Again, and the students listen
The teacher is the only voice
Quietly
Taking in information
Listening to the voice
That they rely on
Silently people
Listen to who and what
They believe and hope in
Quiet, no voices
