Silent Whispers
WALLS silently whisper to me all the time
We Are Loyal Listening Stations for a lifetime
Why don’t they get a little higher and wide?
So that I could have something on my side
When the dim flames flicker in the fire
I beg them to not extinguish this desire
The flames console me as I complain about their changing shades
They say, ‘At least we aren’t the ones with invisible blades’
Of course they keep on reminding me the danger they might induce
Unlike my friendly foes who know exactly when diplomacy is better to use,
They claim to be my well-wishers too
Like their nature isn’t a shade of more than one hue
They think their conspiracies would tear me apart
Forgetting that song of death ends with ‘Nothing lasts forever’ part
