The Indifference Of The Masses.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

some have given me
the indignity of their silence

i have asked the questions
hoping for answers

they only respond with that
quizzical looks

something in me is diminishing
but i know how to cope up with it

i know silence too
i have slept with it

i showered it with the rain of my tears
i give it the mouth that swallowed me

my screams are daggers
that has killed it sometime

gone hysterical
i have retaken what voice i had

this confidence
this word that spits to the indifference of their silence

sigh, there is a syllable in it
that produces the sound of my own unique existence

there is a word that is like a bird in my mouth
soon, i will let it fly, soon i will utter it and give it wings....
