THE LAND OF SILENCE

Poem Body

Because they can’t talk or speak
Because they cannot hear us
They are still dwelling afar
You ought to count yourself lucky
Because the all-time silence
Does not have angry mob there
If not, they will showcase their vengeance
For their long falling asleep
The all time dwelling of the silence
Never sees nor speak from his quite place
Nor react for the mantle left for the mature
They mature is never on fire to execute judgement
For his own reason best known to him
Base on his fault, the whole household linger to a maximum out come and distress
Because of these- ‘are we to dig the righteous up’?
To ask them our duty and what to do to triumph.
