The Deafening Silence
The silence is making me deaf
With its getting louder each day
There are words spoken every second
But there is nothing they actually say
We speak but no longer from the heart
Meanings are lost in trying to be 'correct'
The truth is disguised in ways so many
The purpose, we conveniently forget!
Language has come a U-turn today
From the desire to express what one feels,
It started its journey to this age and time
Where its every design is to conceal
I yearn for a conversation
Between people who still speak
Barren of hidden innuendos
And which isn't a made-up speech
Have we lost the courage to be true?
Why do we lie to even our friends?
Will we ever begin to really speak again
Or will we stay mute until the end?
With its getting louder each day

Language has come a U-turn today
