Absent

Silence is whats left.
Where violence leaves the bled;
In tortured zones,
In thoughts alone,
No signs left to be read.
Just expressions left on faces,
Where nothing need be said.
Its a funny world,
I live in.
Where funny is,
The gimmick.
Cos if murder is acceptable,
Liberation is the sinning. Categorisation is the key.
Highlight That, that lacks in me.
Divide and rule is simple;
Yet the backbone of strategy.

The truth holds a simplicity that cant be taught,
It stems;
From reaching deeper as it seeks.

So the strength I find inside myself,
Is the sense I find that's weak...
