Moment Of Silence

Love you PAPA

We take a moment to remember the days of the youth
The days were freedom was brought forth by truth
The days the burden didn't make us mules
The days tears were only a symbol of youth

At the table while meals were handed no sounds just the news
On the radio, before TVs and dad held a newspaper too
Couldn't say a word, couldn't air out my views
It was a simple rule, talk and from the table you be excused

Master and Commander,
My father and my mother
The silence that I can't speak off
Though my insides shout it louder

I hear sounds saying I'm a coward
Some simply say I'm over powered
This is a fight I can never win
I go in I'll get devoured

Silently at the table, head lowered feeling defeated
Feeling empty and mistreated,
A figure ready to be deleted

The crashing changing the silence into violence
Unexpected, impossible, like mount Rushmore erupted
The death brings forth destruction
I've been dead and feelings iced then
Work up from the worst nightmare
Still having the troubled moment of silence
