Silence

Silence

Silence,
Is golden,
It's true,
What many say,
But silence is also,
A weapon,
Which too many freely,
Give away

Silence,
Like knowledge,
Is power,
And often misunderstood
Some few,
Remain silent,
Not because they had to,
But because they could

Silence,
Can be suffering,
It can be,
Total misery,
But silence,
Should never,
Ever,
Be mistaken for defeat

Silence,
Is a tool,
Sometimes the sharpest,
Of them all,
And it echoes,
Hollow and accusing,
Like a voice,
In an empty hall

Silence,
Can be a gamble,
But not for me,
I think
Silence does not,
Sound weakness,
For me it sounds,
Victory
