The Soundless Event Poem by RIC BASTASA

when you were given so much
time
you simply wasted it
you asked questions which
were too
unnecessary

when the hours finally are
about to end
you suddenly shut your mouth
freeze yourself
and make a better feel about
what to happen next

this time you are a piece of
wall
listening
trying to absorb what next
shall bombard you

when the last second of your life
comes
you finally close your eyes
and welcome such a soundless sleep.
