Even more deafening than the rolling of thunder

as the screams emanate from the depths of the earth more than a thousand feet under!

Shrills from the bed chamber while yet in my youth…

·       ABDUCTION IN CARS

·       DOMESTICATED PAIN

Beating, beating till nearly in-sane

·       UNFAITHFULNESS

The cold unsterilized blade driven in my chest

·       REJECTION, REJECTED

·       DISAPPOINTMENT AFTER, DISAPOINTMENT

·       HEART-BREAK

·       VIOLENCE, VIOLENCE

·       ABUSE

·       RAPE

Even at the top of my lungs but not a soul could hear…

Help me, please help me but a silent scream would only reverberate from the depths of my heart

But, where did these screams go?

Dancing in the church houses, often singing, drugging, drinking, at the pubs, from pillar to post, meeting men or women at the clubs…

Coast to every coast,

wasted degrading lives.

Still no one would dare to hear;

you hurt me when you touched my innocence; didn’t think twice when you tampered with my life!

So pay close attention and listen for the silence when you enter a relationship.

Listen to the silence while on the bus or train, when your children rebel or seclude in a shell.

And when you see your neighbors close their doors their lives and crack open half a smile,

Listen to the silent screams!
