Silence

A Poem by Ahmad Cox

Ahmad Cox · 1 day ago
Silence

Silence
Can speak
Volumes
We have
To break
The silence
When it comes
To some things
There are some 
Things
In this world
We can't
Be silent about
We have to
Speak out
Speak out
For the people
Who don't 
Have a voice
Break the silence
For the ones
Who aren't able
To articulate
Their needs
Or articulate
Their pain
The people
In the dark
Who are searching
Searching to find
Themselves
In a world
That seems
So cold
Lonely 
Barren
Devoid 
Of life
Love
Hope
Living 
In darkness
We must speak
Break the silence
For we can't stay
Silent 
Any longer
We have to speak
We can't just stay still
Any longer 
The world 
Needs people
Who are willing
To speak 
Break the silence

Did you write this to be spoken (performed)? This is one of those poems that should be performed and it would be amazing. It’s powerful and meaningful. My favourite thing about your poetry is the thought behind it.

Thank you. I hadn't thought of performing it but I will try and see if I can read and perform it som.. read more
A very appropriate piece for the times in which we live.. I would suggest that you edit this for punctuation. Excellent write.

Reminds me of the lyric, "Shout, shout, let it all out."

This is really a powerful reminder that here is a time to speak out-when a person's dignity is not valued, or a defenseless person is being victimized...this is the second poem in a row that has spoken to me about this, perhaps I am to be getting a message!!

Amzingly written..i think i loved this out of the pieces i read..its very important to voice opinions for the sake of silent people..who r not even able to tell about their pain..i like the way your thoughts have formed..and a very beautiful flow is there.. gud work..:)

Yep. All our voices deserve to be heard
 There is uniqueness in this poem which I am very familiar with. Each line is marked by disconnected sounds cut short crisply. This is a great write.

Thank you. I appreciated the scope and the depth of your poetry
Silence is scary because it speaks the truth.

Silence is never a good thing... We have to speak for ourselves...
A very short but great poem. The world needs more voices, and those which can help other people...
Great write!
