An ever-imposing darkness surrounds
souls with barricades of straw,
but crushes those made of bricks
Who am I? Who are you?
Do you truly believe yourself privileged
to information not even I possess?
Explosions are all around
in terrorist cacophonies.
Erupting in a deafening silence.
A silence so loud, so heavy
deaf men regain their hearing
only to be deafened once again by the silence.
Covering your ears won't work this time.
In an instant, it's over.
The deadly silence pierces your fingers
and reverberates between your
hands and ears
until your brain cannot take the pain
a second longer.
Don't give in so easily.
Noone's ever won anything by forfeit.
