The Scarcity of Silence – Author William Wright, Jr.

By Raja's Insight on July 18, 2017 • ( 2 )

His time

Was better spent languishing

In the bittersweet foam

And bone-white silence

Beyond

The full-heart chorus of kin

Rife

With their myths

Of unfettered pride

His time

Was better spent

Drowsing in peace

Beyond

His fellow man’s lash

Their verse

Ever-lively, yet stale

His time

Was ensnared

Passive

And loyal to all

To the restless hordes

Who dared

To lend

Their hollow words

Excerpt from the book “The Slums of Nightfall”
