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!

Sometime we cannot hold silence for deeds against the human race. I agree silence is golden. People who like to hear their own voices. Make us wish for separation. I like the peace of a forest or near the sea. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Thank you Coyote for stopping by to grace this piece with your admiring review.
I often feel a sense of guilt for my inability to stand for the oppressed.I don't know how to get rid of such feelings.

We can't. Every life is special and needed.

[zainul]

Many thousands of years ago, many great cities around the great Rivers of pre-Vedic civlization - I imagine lived such a people as you are the descendent Zainul. I liked this piece.

You made many interesting socratic observations about wisdom and society.

Dear generous poet,I feel so blessed and honored that I fumble in vain for right words to reciprocate your compliments.Thank you dear friend for your kind favor.

[Wuji]

I will return many kind favors to you dear Sir! Since clearly the universe has much to return to you.

[zainul]

My pleasure,my wonderful friend.:)

It would bring me great satisfaction if you particiapted in the poetry festival that I host? Let us not call it a contest, for that is too brash an idea - that the merits of words could be superior or inferior to other words, is perhaps a little absurd. But it would do me great justice if you were open to partake...neh?

[zainul]

Thanks for the invitation,dear friend.
I will explain my position in a message.
Have a nice time.:)

How did you take the words from my mouth?

[Gedalya]

The world around us never seems more silent and still than when there is a rush of passion within us. I love this poem, it is spot-on to my own feelings.

[zainul]

Poets of the same feathers feel together!
Thank you dear friend for stopping by to find your own words here.
This ties of thoughts may strengthen our pursuit for happiness through poems.:)

[Gedalya]

I agree. I'm glad to see that we both have a conviction for the power of the written word.

[zainul]

Yes,written words matter.
Let's celebrate this august moment.:)
