The Sound Of silence

Silence be the end of all things

Silence the death of sound

Silence rules, over hesitant fools

Leaving them helpless and bound

Silence reigns over empty rooms

Exams and broken homes

It preys on the weak, who yonder and seek

Escape from the continuous drone

Of noise that makes up life itself

That is found between friends and lovers

Oh how it rules in the classroom of schools

And in the tone of disappointed mothers

Noise and silence in a constant war

A fight between whisper and scream

Oh how they spar, over distended guitars

Realisation that it was a dream

But we must seek comfort that it will not last

One must always win

The loser will hide, shielding its pride

As the victor succumbs to the din.
