Random Acts Of Silence Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Random Acts Of Silence



Random acts of silence,
Has fed the increase of crime.
These random acts of silence...
To dismiss involvement,
Has affected too many minds...
Time after time.
Without listening to comprehend,
What is condoned does not end...
On its own to isolate and be left alone,
To diminish and confine.

Random acts of silence practiced,
Has brought to introduce sadness...
Much too often in these times.
And random acts of silence stuns,
The ones who question...
Why to them such sadness comes.
With them left disbelieving and in grieve,
That actions accepted...
Leaves a misery of tragedies wept,
Uninvited but welcomed by everyone to regret.

Totally, totally agree. Well said. I was talking with a 16 yr old on my blog site today who says she knows of a group of boys who are planning an assault on their high school on the upcoming day of the end of the world. I told her to report it. She's afraid to speak up, of being labelled a rat, of being blamed for it. Most of all she's afraid no one will believe her. I think I convinced her though.
