Quiescent

silence

we sit silent

everyone is still, everyone is quiet

the silence is almost violent

we are blinded by our own entitlement

we can't see our own faults

and we blame the other side

to protect our own pride

feeling your blood boiling

you can feel the tension

everyone's emotions unfolding

logic lost in incomprehension

you know everyone feels the same

but no one says anything

because words burn the soul worst than flames

or maybe we should just blame

condemn each other for the sins we've committed

but at the end of the day we'd feel even more shame

our souls becoming empty, our souls being pitted

our hearts are slitted

bleeding more than blood

blooming a red bud of hatred

suffocating everything that is sacred

hate breaks families

hatred destroys friendships

hatred ruins innocent relationships

we have to notice the presence

and identify the source

and find the solution
