Ten Tons of Silence

You can’t just leave me here
buried deep beneath ten tons of silence
You won’t believe how quickly
peace turns into bloody violence.
Start of cobbling words,
nothing stirs beneath ten tons of silence.
I can’t believe how swiftly
warmth turns into cold defiance.
You can’t just leave me here
unforgiven under ten tons of silence.
Condemned to lie endlessly;
watch as peace turns to bloody violence.
And the stiffening begins,
muscle comes born,
I am fossilized, calcified, the stupor sets in.
Dumb as a stone, I am wide-eyed, petrified, uncivilized grins.
As we suffer kit-long and ten tons are lifted, I am fine.
I am fine.
I am fine.
Never leave me here,
buried deep beneath ten tons of silence.
You won’t believe how quickly
peace turns into bloody violence.
