Image for the poem shhh listen to the silence

shhh listen to the silence

Shhh listen to the silence,
Eish police sirens
Surging violence
More bullets they firing
Raising female violence
The street turned into living nightmares.

Shhh listen to the silence
Screams of agony
Tears of pain
Turn into rain
Because someone had a hand to raise
So that he/she could have his way
Is this the only way?
Are we gonna continue to ravage each other till no one is left?
Are we gonna?
Listen to the silence........

My friend had a dream
So he worked his entire life to achieve it
Just when he was living his dream
Some guys shot up his car then vanished
Now I'm only left with silence.

My sister found  a man
She stayed with this man
Had children with this man
Only to find he was just a lad
Six weeks of silence
We found my sister under her bed
With six bullets in her head
And no one has heard from this mam.

But I'm i know I'm not  the only one
We all lost someone
We all living at the end of the barrel of a gun
Sometimes i think this world is cursed
And those who leave it are blessed
The cycle never ends
Shhh listen to the silence

if we could all just listen to the silence
even just for a minute we could hear this world cry out for help
