The Quiet One

Mon, 06/30/2014 - 12:04 -- shayam

The world is full of lies and deception

It is like the truth is out of our perception

I try to see past it, looking beyond, into the horizon of truth

Every time I speak up, no one ever listens

Not my friends, not my sister, not even my biological parents

No matter how much I rant, I simply can't

watch the lies torment the youth

I spoke up like a declarant, but no one listened so silence became apparent

Nowdays I only speak when spoken too

Like Zoltar, I need some more tokens fool

We were taught to lie to protect loved ones 

but that's simply wrong because everyone desrves the truth

because "the truth shall set you free"

I've been unheard for too long, "Patience is a virtue"

So I am going to keep shouting until its unmuted, so spread the word, its truth

Power Poets, i hope you guys had enough

I'm done and the name is the Quiet One
