Silence
Silence is the most powerful scream
Listen
Experience the waves of history
Forever in it’s making
A path appears where all life walks
There are no masquerades except for behind your back door
A house is not a home unless it has nourishment for the mind as well as body
Your body is an instrument, tune it well
Exercise the mind with even more vigor
Keeping close, man makes a small package
Knowledge may be the principal of your belief
But education cannot teach you experience
If hell has room for one just sinner
Then may beauty beat the beast
Slumbering deep within
Happiness does not simply happen
But the best happiness is in simplicity
Keeping idle is just as putrid as silence
If breaking it means listening to the screams,
Joining them
Making them heard
Then so be it-there is no exist
Flame is known for its company
Idle hands make ill
Sometimes silence is the most beautiful thing of all,
Like a sunrise or a dream
Yet as dreaming can lead to being dangerous so can standing idle
Dancing as cobblers of destiny
We must be careful to wear the proper size of shoe
Rather than try to fill empty places and widen others
Klider machen Leute
Those who roam nude have little influence
Just like those who shine in the moonlight and melt in the sun
Everything comes to an end in one perspective
Even chickens
Don’t let the old lady scream, age has nothing to do with denial
Admiration is the sharpener of love in its absence
Any fool can critique
Idle silence is as toxic as idle words
Words create a scar silence won’t heal
Ignorance is not a sin as unwilling to morph
A square man cannot fit in a sphere
He will boil over
With peace comes a price
The lambs won’t always keep silent
From the pigment of our powder
Tremble the words
“God helps those who help themselves”
Those who wait for the sun to rise with their mouths gaping open with a silent scream
Leave behind shallow dust
Before we get old
It may be too late to be wise
