SILENCE OF THE AGE
Silence is not golden, if dark deeds do maintain,
Silence cannot be golden, if righteousness is slain.
Hear the Silence, the silence of the unborn,
A void of voices the youthful chatter of childish laughter,
The void of voices unheard in the weightiest of matters,
The void of voices that thunder their simple little terms,
Silence is not golden, if dark deeds do maintain,
Silence cannot be golden, if righteousness is slain.
Hear the Silence the silence of the dead,
Voices vanquished by untimely injustice then brought to an early grave,
Voices vanquished atrociously sentenced to silence by a dictator rave.
Voices vanquished by selfish delight killing the innocent as some awful blight.
Silence is not golden, if dark deeds do maintain,
Silence cannot be golden, if righteousness is slain.
Hear the Silence, the silence of the tear,
Silence deadly silence of the tears never cried,
Silence deadly silence of hardened hearts that lied,
Silence deadly silence of tender lives that died,
Silence is not golden, if dark deeds do maintain,
Silence cannot be golden, if righteousness is slain.
Hear the Silence, the silence of unlived years,
the silence of unfelt fears,
the silence of unspoken cheers,
the silence of unknown peers,
the silence of the unborn taken from the womb.
Where there is no life there is no voice.
Silence is not golden, if dark deeds do maintain,
Silence cannot be golden, if righteousness is slain.
Listen, Listen, Listen, silence is their pain!
Listen, Listen, Listen, silence cannot be golden if righteousness is slain.
Silence is not golden, if dark deeds do maintain,
Silence cannot be golden, if righteousness is slain.
Hear the Silence, the silence of the unborn,
A void of voices the youthful chatter of childish laughter,
The void of voices unheard in the weightiest of matters,
The void of voices that thunder their simple little terms,
Silence is not golden, if dark deeds do maintain,
Silence cannot be golden, if righteousness is slain.
Hear the Silence the silence of the dead,
Voices vanquished by untimely injustice then brought to an early grave,
Voices vanquished atrociously sentenced to silence by a dictator rave.
Voices vanquished by selfish delight killing the innocent as some awful blight.
Silence is not golden, if dark deeds do maintain,
Silence cannot be golden, if righteousness is slain.
Hear the Silence, the silence of the tear,
Silence deadly silence of the tears never cried,
Silence deadly silence of hardened hearts that lied,
Silence deadly silence of tender lives that died,
Silence is not golden, if dark deeds do maintain,
Silence cannot be golden, if righteousness is slain.
Hear the Silence, the silence of unlived years,
the silence of unfelt fears,
the silence of unspoken cheers,
the silence of unknown peers,
the silence of the unborn taken from the womb.
Where there is no life there is no voice.
Silence is not golden, if dark deeds do maintain,
Silence cannot be golden, if righteousness is slain.
Listen, Listen, Listen, silence is their pain!
Listen, Listen, Listen, silence cannot be golden if righteousness is slain.
