The Noisy SilenceA Poem by Lakshmi Ramesh
The silence that is noisy,
That's what this is. No words are spoken, But thoughts thought in millions. This silence is loud, Loud enough for the whole world to sense it, And yet no one does take a step To put some tune in it. It bothers all But no one cares enough To look past their own lives And dish out their drums. Why does she keep screaming Inside her heart? Why does she keep crying Those invisible tears? Is that how alone we've made her? Is that how little humanity is? Her silence is a song that needs no words, For the world knows what it means Her silence is a taunt to the world that is blind Blind to her pain and grief. All she needs is a hand of love, Someone to count her tears. All she needs is one true smile, That brings her back to life.
