It wouldn’t be that loud,
No drama nor frustration,
If it was up to them the world would be a vacuum.
Not a space with no sound,
Rather one with a raging scream,
luring you to switch it off.

But why would you?

Why invite the sound?
Why send the silence away?
Why why why…

It wouldn’t be “that” loud they said,
but how could they speak if silence had the gavel?
Hitting hard to gain order,
but no one hears that bang,
that wallop, that smack,
that train on the track.

A silent devil sat in his seat,
unwilling to admit defeat.
Would you listen, if silence were to speak?
