Enjoy the silence

Have you ever wondered about the consequences of questioning the basis of society? One may counter-question as to what constitutes the basis - to which answers shall vary among individuals. An important element that defines the social nature of homo sapiens is - interaction. Predominantly we tend to relate to each other by way of speech as compared to other senses (I am also considering the debatable "sixth sense"), to the extent that more often than not we lend ourselves to believe in what we hear without actually considering the inner meaning. This limitation buds from the inadequacies of language. Language was developed as a tool to aid understanding and compassion among people, but instead it metamorphosed into the means by which we define character and pass judgements.

One may simply put off the subject as inconsequential and I doubt that few would be able to understand what I am trying to deliver here because of the simple fact that it is rather difficult to express the true spirit of the matter by using such well defined indicators - "words". How can one portray the abstract by using the concrete, which is why poetry remains a mystery amongst many who fail to delve into the realms of the poet's thoughts. Poetry appeals to one and many because of the mysteries and twists it entails - would such levels of abstraction have been possible if only words were used, would it not have been more effective had the poet been able to make you feel the poetry first hand without having to describe it to you?

I agree poetry is a tricky area, so I shall venture no furhter before you close my blog out of boredom :) I would love to write more on the subject, but maybe at some later date, for the time being here's a few lines for you to enjoy:

Words like violence

Break the silence

Come crashing in

Into my little world

Painful to me

Pierce right through me

Can't you understand

Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted

All I ever needed

Is here in my arms

Words are very unnecessary

They can only do harm

Vows are spoken

To be broken

Feelings are intense

Words are trivial

Pleasures remain

So does the pain

Words are meaningless

And forgettable

All I ever wanted

All I ever needed

Is here in my arms

Words are very unnecessary

They can only do harm

Enjoy the silence
