Living life as the way it is.
Bearing no judgement as I walk down
this thoroughfare.
Bearing no thoughts of you and me,
spreading my wings to fly away.
When the Nazis killed the Jews,
I maintained silence
because I was not a Jew.
When someone was falling into darkness,
I maintained silence
because I was not the one.
When the country was in a war,
I maintained silence
because I was not the one fighting for my pride.
When other loved ones are in peril,
I maintained silence
because i don't know them, they don't know me.
When my friends break down into tears,
I maintained silence
because they are not my problems I need to face.
When others are in fustration,
I maintained silence
because those are not my conflicts.
Now the wheels of time turn against me,
misty fog blinds your eyes.
Its sad to know this.
When I was in trouble,
everyone maintained silence.
There everyone sat,
behind the jury box,
where I was standing alone at the witness stand.
They were there for me,
but their kindness never seem to be reaching into their eyes.
Their worry ceases to be summon to their expressionless faces.
They were there for a purpose,
like what I done to them
what they will do to me.
Silence is nothing but a rule.
Its nothing but a emotion.
Yet I selflessly underestimated its power.
No one cares about what I do.
Silence is golden.
