Eternal Silence Poem by Hebert Logerie

Death is
The eternal silence
We often say under this sky
Where the enemies are ubiquitous
Even among thugs and fools
That the dead are wrong
Oh! That's ignorance!
That's incompetence!
That's complicity!
That's bad luck!
That's vanity!
That's nonsense!
That's voracity!
That's imbecility!
That's impunity!
That's criminality!
That's an idiotic thing!
That's nonsense!
That's foolishness!
In this life
We are right or wrong
We make decisions
Sometimes vain or useless
We were born to be useful
To society, to our family
And to our dear country
Silence is the absence of life
Eternal silence is death
Regret or remorse
Causes pain and trouble
The eternal silence
Is death
We are always
In front of the material
Far from what's essential
Far from eternal salvation.

P.S. This Poem Is Dedicated To The Victims Of Countless Criminals And The Corrupt.
