Poetry: Silence

by John Cashin

Created on: October 05, 2009

Is it conceivable?

That we are all evil.

That even in our silence,

we desire destruction.

The destruction of humanity.

Our silence is evil.

To do nothing when in the face of conflict.

I bite my tongue, till it bleeds.

I was just doing my job, as I watched in silence.

I let them all die. I stayed silent.

Redemption was within my reach.

Redemption was only one word.

I stayed silent. Now I will burn.
