Silence Please:

Broken picture on the floor

Why is it you hang no more?

Did your quiet presence make

Some thoughtless person you to break?

How can I correct this wrong

That you have known so very long?

Would it help to show I cared

and have your glass and frame repaired?

Would you like a brand new face

and a chance to hang in a different place?

What is your preferred, position

Most likely to restore, your disposition?

Answer me picture, let me know

If you don't respond I'm going to go.

I'm trying to help in every way

But if you don't try I won't stay.

Ungrateful trash, not making a sound

what you need is some kicking around.

Take that, and that, and some more too

It's the last that anyone will see of you.

I crushed the glass and frame and all

till the entire mess was very small.

Its not polite to respond with silence

something about it brings out my violence.
