Silence


Silence

Silence is golden

No, there lies truths unfolded

Gold is the truth and silence is the corrosion

Failure to speak of such things

Leads to conversations about other things

Leaving no one to know exactly everything

In result, the truth is inhibited

Leaving perceptions limited

And uniqueness unrecognized

For everyone is different but looks at things with the same eyes

Everything is well if it meets the status quo

That’s what Hyde showed

And then everyone folds, And pretends to let it go.
