I Choose Silence

I have listened to many voices Academic voices dripping with knowledge Mathematical jargon swollen with mathematical theorem Intellectual voices full of logical algorithms Stupid voices plastered with foolishness Religious voices possessed by the spirit Friendly voices full of good advice Motherly voices full of warmth Fatherly voices dripping with discipline Sweet voices full of laughter & joy Some voices full of anger Some voices whispering in fear Other voices calm and at peace And I have listened to silence Silence dissected my heart Opened my Soul Possessed my existence I choose silence
