something is singing inside.... the inner voices, the songs are singing inside

A Silent Conpiracy

It is a silent conspiracy!

You used to shout and scream,

In those days

When hope was still at touching distance,

Words used

To flow and flow

When you were

Shouting and screaming

About those who burn our pottage.

But now your silence deadens

Our expectant eardrums

It is a silent conspiracy!


Who has kidnapped the tongue of the growling lion?

What has shut the gates of your mouth?

It is a silent conspiracy!


You used to teach and preach

 In those days

When hope was still at touching distance,

We listened to sermons and lectures,

Teaching and preaching,

About  the power of words and ideas.

But have we been fed by con-men?

Your tastes have changed

It is a silent conspiracy!


Dining and wining

On the highest tables,

And now you join the Pirates of silence

Who seek to entangle us

In their world of empty words

It is a silent conspiracy!


I have questions

For all Pirates of silence,

Con-men who hide under the umbrella of silence,

All who conspire with their silence

To keep us in chains

Do your noses still detect

The odour of burnt pottage?

Or does the fat pay slip

Now imprison your conscience?

It is a silent conspiracy!
