The silence was broken as words were spoken Too many lives had been lost this way. For words kept in can keep your safety For many, many days. The loss of speech Had left none to preach Except for the queen of spades. Who lost her tongue, Under the rug Of the donkey who always brayed. If words could never hurt you Than this story would not be true. To kings with knives only death would suffice, And your life is a price to pay. The lack of sound pained some Although some ears had just gone numb. And most would tell you it’s dumb To look at the land and stay. It is hard to remove the sound from a world As you may have heard. Yes, each one you make None as precious as the word. Comments are closed.
