Silence Poem by Tom Billsborough
Silence
Silence is golden
Or perhaps a truth unheard...
The cry of a slave.
This is a stunning piece, Tom. Absolutely stunning. Sometimes the biggest truths can be found in such few words and lines. On my Favorite List. 10
Well darn ... very well thought out... got the old boy thinking
It was a School mantra carefully ignored by us rowdy boys! I haven't changed much, Wes. Still the big loud lazy lout! But Silence can be a way of shutting our ears to suffering and slavery still exists.

I was thinking partly of Shakespeare's line All that glisters is not of gold and the fine buildings in ports like Liverpool gained in the past on the back of the suffering of slaves. Silence can be a double-edged sword. Thanks for your comment, Sue.
