Suddenly, I heard the most fascinating voice.
And all at once, there was silence.
So, I had no choice.
I searched for it here and there but found
nothing.
Then, I felt like I was drowning in the silence.
And all alone, there was I sitting.
I stood up, climbed the stairs in my heart,
and found the most beautiful art.
I could not even recognize the race-
by staring at their veil and grace.
Still, I wished to watch them all my life,
to capitalize, to prioritize and to strive.
And suddenly, I emerged out of the silence,
to find the world full of the same old violence.
