Solace In Silence

 

  Trapped in a five-foot fortress I am surrounded by screens. 
  One screen is the news. 

  One screen is the blues. 
  There is nothing left to choose. 

  My deepest fears and thoughts are left in the dark. 
  Living in a world that is crumbling what can I do?      

  I have been shallow with my entitlements.  

  My opinions I keep to myself.    
  Nobody can tell me nothing though. 

  I dress how I want to dress. 

  I like what I want to like. 

  I do what I want to do. 
  My taste is of my own and there is nothing anybody can do about it.    

  When the walls cave in and the noise gets too hard to bear close your eyes. 
  After you close your eyes look within yourself for hidden treasures. 
  Those treasures will be many.   
  You will find peace. 
  You will find hope. 
  You will find joy. 
  You will find understanding. 
  Most importantly you will find silence.
