Silence

Silence! Hush! 
Be still, listen
Don't you hear? 
There's silence out there
Silent hatred, silent fear
A silent cry of despair
Silent hunger, silent shame
All this silence, don't you care? 
Silent agony, silent pain
The silent whisper of a lover's name
Silent death, a silent plea
Silent words that have never been said 

A silent hope, a silent pledge
Silent mourning, a silent grief
Silent anger rooted deep
A silent warning don't you see? 
A silent laugh, silent greed
A silent vengeance, a silent dare
There's silence everywhere
All this silence don't you care?
