Silence - VII
(The Arrogance of Legacy)

Before his coming
was his voice. And in
his coming the Gods sought
to silence voice - but Silence
could not
be silenced - and his voice
was.

In being
he is Silence
and his scream
deafens the heavens.

In his going
those who sought
to silence Silence
would try once more
to silence Silence -
and will fail; in dying
the silence of Silence
will speak volumes -
Silence -
unsilenced -
for an eternity.

    You are very kind - it is my belief we All think such thoughts, but deny them for social condition. My hope, no matter how small or arrogant, is to change that - even if only in the minutest manner.
