In Silence

Watch the man hold the bottle high
Watch his life go running by and by
In silence
The clicking camera misses a frame
The fall of wonders never seen again
his battle scarred face tells it all
society’s outcast stripped of life’s reward
In Silence
Watch the fall watchh them cry
Watch the old man wake up and die — die
Pendants paid with our loose change
Conscience clean — no more chains
Daunting stare shows the pain
But n one caring to ever look again
In Silence
