Can Be Silent


He remained silent for a long time

So he realized

That all the words were extra

Can be silent

Even periods can be kept quiet

But the world compels man

So when he was compelled he spoke

And spoke without hesitation

Talking while walking in the streets

Even now, he speaks, in his sleep
