Silence

Silence

A Poem by Lauren Nicks

As silence falls
and the world goes dark
As fire burns
and no angels hark.

When children scream
and elders cry
As madness consumes
masses die.

When innocent starve
and plagues ignite
Will you hide
or will you fight.

A world so cruel
an evil so strong
Society built on lies
how did we last so long.

A poem you wrote some time ago and yet it is so apt in the current climate. Some things don't change. Good to read you. I liked the short descriptive stanzas.

Viscerally powerful ending. I choose to fight. This poem is very pleasing casual read. I enjoyed it. Look forward to reading some more of your work Ms. Nicks.

I wrote it thinking about end times more so. Thank you so much! I am glad that you enjoyed it!
i will fight. i like this writing, it makes me think of what fools we are to follow and turn to our current system anymore. You do good at keeping it on point, it's anthem like. very cool!
