truth over silence
I am not
a peacekeeper
I am a truth seeker…
I do not keep the peace
at all costs
because I see that “peace”
in the eyes of the ones
broken by your silence
So I seek truth
and speak truth
and watch your shadow
as you walk away
or see your anger showing
as you create
noise and disharmony
with your words that
you toss carelessly
on earth, online
at people
at those you hate
without ever glimpsing
their souls
So I walk on with my words
and sing truth so others
may dance to the beat
of hope
