Voices
Fencer6
Can you hear them?
Hush you!
Remain silent;
retain your calm.
Has the noise
emerged to you yet?
Have you heard,
the voices of the voiceless?
Once you have heard it,
you will know.
Once you have heard it,
you’ll never forget.
The single sound
of the bomb
-like a hailstone raining down-
crashing into the city
of Nagasaki.
The screams;
the horrid,
death-bound screams
as innocent lives
were vaporized.
Once you’ve heard them,
you won’t mistaken,
the shouts of the unjustified
and the cries of the tyrannized;
as they rocked the streets of Missouri
and shook the foundation
of our nation.

Listen closer and you will hear
the horrid screaming,
as two towers,
that had once scraped the heavens,
came crashing down,
dragging a feeling of security
along with it.
What’s worse
was the shouts of hatred
that ensued.
The cries of war;
the cries of revenge.
But more horrifying than
the chaos that surrounds us
is the sound
that can only be heard
if you listen ever so hard.
For this
is the hardest to hear;
If you listen close enough,
than you will hear it.
You will hear...
silence.
For never when the voice of the devil is strongest
should anyone remain silent.
Never should one with the power to speak
retreat to their own solitude of peace
and let others be tortured
by the noises around them.
Instead sing a song,
and let it be a symphony
of peace,
love, and kindness
So be still.
Listen to every voice of the world.
Do not exclude a single one.
And slowly
add to it
your own hymn.
