Though I speak in common voice

And you with ears can hear.

There is meaning in what I say,

That will be lost, I fear.

 

We are accustomed to voices

And those we can tune out.

It takes an elequent speaker

To capture an audience and not shout.

 

Wish I may, each time I speak,

That my voice will appease your ears.

The substance that is within,

Will certainly wile away your fears.

 

I can, with certainity, hope this is so,

For your life depends on what I say.

For there are forces within our walls,

That are hoping we remain asleep.

Or is it that there are things that would rather not be disclosed....and reassurance is the favourable option...?
A very enigmatic write...

I know what you mean. The people will be lulled asleep by an eloquent speaker while trickery is really his game.

Love ya!

The last line seems to appear away from the rest of the poem. Maybe that was the intention.
