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!

Okay, I am in a reviewing state because of one of my websites that I am on has a Review Day going on right now.
So, this is Katie to give you a review.

1. I loved this poem. It is well written. Just one thing- is the absence of punctuation purposeful in how you have formatted this?
2. Grammatically and structure wise this is amazing.

If only the world could rid itself f these bad traits, and live by the traits and values that governed people of the pas. It would work a whole lot better. I agree with Starchance when she says: "You made many interesting socratic observations about wisdom and society."

[zainul]

I adore your special attention on this piece.
I am very glad that you stopped by to glorify this work with your classical review.

[Catherine Frain]

[Tate Morgan]

Welcome to the new world order of corporate greed where all are meant to be thrown out None are saved or even repaired well done

[zainul]

Hi Tate,thanks for the insightful review.
You have mentioned of a great reality that people are bound to encounter.
I am very glad that you stopped by to grace this piece with your heartfelt observations.

[Tate Morgan]

You are welcome It is so sad that a man might wish for many things but a good life for his children is one thing we can no longer guarantee

[zainul]

You are very right,dear friend.
I apprehend that such insecurity will be enhanced day by day and the future of our children will be threatened by many more undesirable factors.

[Tate Morgan]

yeah they will be considered no more than worker bees a cog in a wheel to be cast off at the slightest inkling of slowing

[zainul]

But,how will this situation change?
How will our children get a safe living environment?

[Tate Morgan]

I dont think they will I think we have overpopulated i see a bleak future of haves and have nots where the top 1 percent enjoy the blessing of life and the rest pay for that

[zainul]

And also work for the fortunate 1 percent as slaves.
Agreed and done.

[Baby Ricochet]

"Selfish people worship ego" Ah! You've met Americans! Good poem. loved the third stanza babe.

[zainul]

Thank you Baby for the gift of wonderful review and compliments.
It means a lot to me.

[Rachelle]

There is silence because of introspection. There is silence because of fear. Yet, the worst is silence because of apathy. Give voice to the fearful and conscience to the apathetic.

[zainul]

This means a world to me.
