The Golden Silence forsaken
The Golden Silence forsaken. 0199 (Ife)
Posterity will tell the stories silence could not,
How beauty bled to be seen in the kingdom she's worth.
How what was golden was fret and bought
For a peasants value both in the west nor north.
My story was not told clearly because I felt silence was golden.
But now it's value has been inflated and it's purpose mistaken.
About this poem
It's debunking the idea of the value of silence and it sprung out of an emotion of not been heard even if I spoke. This is because a lot of people couldn't resonate with my depth of thought
