Sound or Silence ?

Sound or Silence ?

A Poem by Shreyas Tripathy
"

Ever wondered ...

"
Speak no more,hear the silence speak
Broken promises and lies, make us weak
Let the darkness engulf you, black and bleak
Gain the closure deep inside you seek

Why to scream, why to shout
Let the air between clear out
When words start to make sense
They kill the reverberating silence

Different people with different facets
Have failed in discovering the assets
Of sound and silence's mystery
Of their lucrative future and stone-etched history

Great are the men of action
People who never starve for satisfaction
Of whose lives have been penned down
For generations to come around

All hail the mighty almighty
Who let loose God sound and the Silence deity
For they led the never-ending war
Whose winner is only neither and nor

I definitely agree with Sacsen that this poem is thought provoking. It's very powerful, and beautiful. I especially love the stanza, it may just be one of my favorite things ever now. *hehehe* =)
