Children of silenceA Poem by R.A. YoungbloodYou will walk and jump off the edge in the new years and centuries And I will make a few steps and peek for my whole life in that Tremendous chasm. But I know I'm not alone. Many sons of the same silence are out there, Waiting. Hiding endless tales within a motion. Reaching for something tamed by inscrutability. Crying and praying above the nameless graves. Carrying their heavy hearts and still becoming A complete, lovely and peaceful beings. Staying away from the influences and environment That others are shaping for them. Knowing that violence will never sound like violins And musical equivalent of silent rain. Trying to set back all the clocks And wondering why a miracle is always a mirage. Pulling themselves out of the skins of beasts rayed with mercy. With their walking shadows, They have the future born forgotten.
