Silence and Thunder

With open arms and camouflaged eyes,

Silence did welcome thunder.

Earlier, it begged for peace,

Now, peace when it had enough,

It sought what it should have wanted least.

A picture of tranquillity that was never meant to be,

But camouflaged eyes damage had did.

And now when silence looked around,

He found only ruins of the past,

Bullets among the massacred

Rusted against the tears.

No more did it want silence,

It only sought peace.
