Silent

I kept it silent

Like the howling wind in a barren,

Land. Where soulless city thrives,

Filled with dust and sand.

The rats ran swift,

With clicking sounds

That made me twitch.

And there I’ve found,

A horrible sound.

Spoilt and swollen like that anthill.

The skin just crushed beneath the words that struck.

Bold, strong . I defend with my walls.

Or rather deflect the arrows that aimed to hurt me.

Even though bombs keep tumbling down.

The fights , the wars. I stay silent.

Through it all, there’s nothing that could change.

As I did nothing to stop the rain.

Silent.
