Silence
We stare at each other with our eyes
though our mouth is trap in silence
it's time for our face to smile,
We've kept silent for this long while.
We have been in silence for too long,
even to hear the birds chirp their song,
What's wrong? say a word are you nervous
for your voice to be heard.
When are we going to speak?
we've been doing this for a week,
my feet is trembling and are becoming weak,
can't you mumble or even speak,
then what's the sense we've meet
standing so long and pressuring our feet
then it's best to smile and show our teeth.
For too long we've been in silence
is it that we are shy?
or the words in our mouth have become
dry.
tell me why?
for too long we've been in silence.
