Silence

Silence seems to be gold
One should not be very bold
The world loves a dumb
It may be wise to remain calm

What else a humble person can do
When selfish people worship ego
Ignoring the call of humanity
They defy  vows and responsibility

It may be an offense to keep quiet
In the case of violation of human right
Tricks of players of the game of fortune
Thwart the good people to lament soon

Opportunists embrace stooge but ignore wise person
They can't stand opponents with noble mission

This is powerfully accurate and a cry for help in humanity. You worded it so well, I couldn't think of any way to say it better! When the wise stay quiet and let the fools run the show, humanity suffers. But this is so often the case, and the silence needs to be broken if we want to see change. Very powerful poem, definitely thought-provoking!

An eloquent expression of a sad problem of humanity, how too often people keep quiet when they should speak out.

This is beautiful, elegant work. I, myself am a quiet person. I understand the lines. "What else a humble person can do ,When selfish people worship ego" it is difficult to live in a world when surrounded by the "I,Me,Mine-Know-It-All crowd. They talk of compassion, but compassion is an action and when done, is completed unselfishly and oftentimes, anonymously. And I believe, a quiet humble, noble wise person is really feared by the people who are opportunist and who like to hear themselves talk . Thank you for sharing this.

Strange but the same one word as the title is all I feel a need to say. " Silence"

Somehow the reply to you of Silence is everything. For those who understand why certain people must speak, must act, I can only bow my head together with them in Silence,
Maybe it's because words cannot speak for the Hearts who must obey and act with courage even though we may be afraid too.
But something happens when we see injustice and cruelty done to others. We may even take injustice and cruelty towards ourselves, for the sake of others and never lift a finger for ourselves.
I think there is an understanding somewhere deep that we do what we do because we must.
We must do it cause we cannot not do it.
Seemingly we were put here to do it. It's our job.
Somehow "Bowed in Silence" so Sacredly United one Heart, One Mind that understands the mission,Something burned and etched into our deep conscious.
the phrase comes to mind" Let My People Go"

I adore you dear friend for interpreting silence in such adorable way.
I feel blessed by your generous favor.
Have a nice time dear friend.:)

Silence is lead, as heavy as black hole, sucking truth into oblivion, leaving behind greed, manipulance (my word)of the human spirit and simple dignity. Shout loud and often........

[zainul]

I am very glad that you stopped by to grace this piece.:)

A very poignant write with a powerful message. We've always been told to stand up and be heard, however this poem shows that oftentimes in silence a bigger blessing is found. The truth will stand, and silence is more powerful than a thousand words.
