WORDS OF THE LIVING
(PEACE)
The day of silence
Will rest in words and sibilance
When the earth goes quiet
The people grow silent
The world caught in a state of chassis
Empty to all ;passing
by; as the trees wave their goodbyes
The people think of all their choices
As they grow ever more boisterous
No man shall die
No baby cry
The earth shall utter no sigh
The peaceful planet
Shall keep turning
Never stopping; always learning
People aiming for the ceiling
Warnings they're; never heeding
They did not realise at the time they were falling
D
O
W
N
To the same old, barren, ragged ground
Why seek the top
If it is; no different
Simply stop
Looking a "better if"
So join us
In our day of silence
Because only one thing is priceless
Time
Don't go running for your next promotion
Instead sit with us and watch the ocean
Don't go searching for your next car
Just watch the world's work of art
Joins us in our day of silence
I promise you the experience will be timeless
