Silence is golden
Except when beholdin’
Our country’s cry to make noise
When silent is suffering
From bloodshed disrupting
First amendment’s duty is loud voice
If silence is deafening
Too quiet …is deadening
When holstering our protest of guns
And, proclaiming “pure evil”
Is presidentially feeble
A guarantee that nothing gets done
When Vegas so deadly
Grows silent already
We surrender to a culture of “violencers”
While protective gun lobbies
Shooting, their hobbies
Legislate to legalize silencers
If afraid to go deaf
From the outspoken left
We can’t ask their ears to be willing
Because firing their AK
Scares away prey
Killing their chance to be killing
Our sounds of silence
Are alternative violence
Passive aggressors’ quiet resistance
Let our call to arms
Be sounding the alarm
To our silent cease fire of indifference
