Insolence and silence
When the two marry,
And into prominence they grow;
Where politics impacts the scroll and
dictionary,
And systems are no-bold to rise out of
self editing burrow;
My heart beats: it’s–time-to–worry:
When the two marry,
A
soul- deafeningly insolent- leading the mass,
Meeting its moment of illusion of
importance;
Like a muted iceberg of vile waiting for a shy
sun rise to cares its face;
And
another soul meant to silence insolence yet helplessly bewildered,
Meeting its moment of reflection of
truth but remain hushed;
Like a poet shying away from his golden
words:
Moaning in silence;
When the two marry,
The inherent deterrence,
Muted by silence, becomes,
The lubrication for the country’s
engine;
Of degenerative chagrin,
Ululating for marriage of insolence and
silence,
Where
Humanness ‘deservedly’ suits,
For
a lamb on the altar of collective sacrifice.
