Silence, I say Silence <br />Stop the pretence <br />Halt the building of that fence <br />Between you and the truth <br />The truth can be rather intense <br />But wouldn’t you rather the truth <br />Than a lie be your preference <br /> <br />Why feed on <br />A lie so long? <br />Why shelter <br />A lie so strong? <br />When there is a fight <br />The only one flung <br />Will be you <br /> <br />Silence the lie <br />Before I cry <br />Silence the lie <br />Before I die <br />Because of someone up high <br />Like you and I <br />That ignores my cries <br /> <br />Copyright 2005 - Sylvia Chidi<br /><br />Sylvia Chidi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/silence-the-lie/
