Silence

by Khalid M Darwish   Aug 2, 2012


SILENCE

Gives you the power to think deeply
in whatever happening around you
and focus your answer with rationalization

Makes you control who's in front of you
through looks loaded with non-spoken meanings
which make them perplexed in their interpretation

When accompanied with some movements and gestures
forces who's in front of you to disclose what they hide
and say more than what they want

Generates a sense of extreme rage in other people
because they consider it as a hidden attack,
whereby you be the stronger without speaking or potential

Is the best solution to petty marital problems.

In difficult situations generates respect,
unlike conflict and controversy
which generate antagonism and hatred

Destroys the weapons of those who you're in scuffle with
and strips them of the ability to continue speaking

Teach you good keep listening
which is a lacking property in many others

    WOOOW Khalid, I think you just summarized the powers of silence in one piece. Really amazing, and every line is just so true. Sometimes people fail to understand the power that silence can have, on various situations it has a different effect.

    Well done, and greatly written piece.
