Silent Screams  

The Silent Wise, a paradox reign

While Fools Loud boast, wisdom’s lost in vain

The Educated tiptoe, fearing ridicule’s sting

As Ignorance struts proud, with “I don’t care” wing

 

The Meek obey, bound by chains of old

Systems crumble, yet they never grow bold

The Haughty rebel, against gentle healthy rule

Self-destruction’s path, they proudly rule

 

The Heartful avoid Politics’ dirty game

Leaving Mafias to thrive, and Governance’s shame

“Clean hands” they claim, yet do nothing to aid

Their goodness lost, as they leave destinies unafraid

 

The Elites learned, with knowledge so grand

Hoard it tight, “Knowledge is expensive” in demand

Free education’s gift, they selfishly conceal

Leaving the masses blind, their future to reveal

 

Where’s the goodness, if it can’t start at home?

If family and neighbors suffer, alone?

Why leave the reins to dirty hands, so unclean?

When will the Wise arise, and leadership reclaim?

 

Let goodness arise, let hearts take the stage

Let wisdom guide, and fools turn the page

Let knowledge flow free, and the meek find their voice

For a better world demands, a heartful collective choice.
