We Wail We Wail We Wail by elnath160782: 11:28pm On Nov 05, 2015
OF THIS SILENCE


This ailment is criminal,
This screaming silence of tongues once loud,
Now faults are so minimal,
I wonder if they are all cowed
by the whip beneath the white,
Moons ago were tongues sharpened
screaming to the greatest height,
Now: "it has now yet ripened
the general's plan for us,
Let's give him time to tighten
the noose on our large purse plus
cage all those that're fighting
to unhinge the house we built,"
We wait, we wait and we wait,
Our silence now turns to guilt,
They laid and we took the bait,
Now they want us all to hail
while deeper sinks our ship,
NO! We wail, we wail, we wail,
They from their brew shall sip.

You captured it here:
Our silence now turns to guilt,
They laid and we took the bait,
Now they want us all to hail
while deeper sinks our ship,

So apt.
