When
you say nothing at all…
Though
have emotions big & small.
You
have so much to express,
But,
to your ego, you’d rather caress!
How
dare they treat me like this?
Why
trap me like a helpless little fish?
Why
was I made the conspiracy’s target?
How
could they not share the secret?
Why
the exclusion, the friendless pain?
Why
the jeer, this attitude, the disdain?
Why
is everything so sadly amiss?
What
had I done to deserve this?
Strange
they even dream to ignore me!
I’m
the most deserving, can’t they see?
Mind
sport & debates, conscience replies,
Voices
in the head weigh truth & lies!
Who
can fathom the angst & the din?
The
seething powerful volcano within?
Appalled
by all the drama & unfairness,
Does
good protest employ- Words or Silence?
Even
if you do share what you feel,
Even
the right words won’t seal your deal!
Understanding
where you stand is beyond them!
Only
a jeweler knows the worth of a gem!
Say
nothing at all & let your actions speak!
Volumes
to inspire & World will follow quick!

Deletewords are not *required* as silence & actions speak.

ReplyDeleteNice one 👍 Anita. This sounded like post employee appraisal silent reaction. Employees gets frustrated when they don't get a raise. Whatever goes/happens in their mind, you have said it all through your poem 👍 Thanks for sharing 🙂
