A Moment of Silence, Please!
The world is in chaos
Yet there is jubilation everywhere
People are gasping for air
Yet there is air around them
Their lungs refuse to accommodate any
So I watch them give it up instead
A moment of silence for the departed,please!
My eyes are glassed with suppressed tears
I turn on tv to silence my sorrows
But my grief knows no rest
The sound of children laughing...
