Silent Sonnet Poem by Austyn Chimbuoyim

When I heard his silence,
I knew he couldn't make more sense,
Even as he passed the option of self-defense
Amidst the weather so cloudy and tense.
Go, tell the Judge seeking to influence,
And with sheer impunity pass sentence:
"Though the accused got none with evidence,
His muted protest only shows innocence".

Somewhere in the spirit's dark tunnel,
Truth irrepressible torments the sons of Justice:
Whether or not they involve the Colonel,
The victim, with words unspoken scripts a piece
Rendered ‘to the kernel' via life's channel
And notes to sing left to no other's caprice.
