Silence Is Golden Poem by Jennifer Segbefia

There are times in life when you feel like fighting very hard
With all your might, all your strength and all your resources
In order to prove something or to achieve justice
Very difficult problems may arise at times when you don't need them
Meaningless accusations may engulf you like an ocean
Then you would feel like talking your way out
Sometimes it is just not necessary to tell anyone your side of the story
Because no one actually listens to you
The best way to deal with certain issues is not by fighting but by keeping quiet, because in keeping silent some sleeping dogs are left to lie.
