Silence is Betrayal

You.
You are the one.
You will make the difference.

Meaningless
Loud babble
Sputters and spurts from lips
Who’s minds are drivel.

Silent,
You have been,
Not to seem like they.

Unspoken,
Your good thoughts,
Sit hopeless,
Trapped away.

Betrayal,
Is what comes,
From your silent voice.

Speak,
Now give wisdom light,
Or you may loose your choice.
