Silent Screams on the Anniversary of a Failed Revolution

Silent Screams

If you haven’t heard my silence then you haven't been listening

My silence screams in dissent

It walks on the blood of those whose lives were lost screaming for hope

It lives on the lifeblood of broken dreams and stolen words

Words of justice fallen short

It cries for the lives of a people, of nations, lost to greed and wonton violence

It wallows in the pain of lives forever changed and left unfulfilled

My silence, is the only way to express the pain at the loss of it all

Bread, freedom, social justice and human dignity

All gone

And we are left with nothing, no hope, no change, and even worse ruled by fear and death, imprisonment and the loss of identity

When my words return I hope there will be a place for them

A place where hope can live

Where peace can reside

Where the future may seem….

Well, possible.
