Silence Kills
 
 

                                                   Sitting on the balcony,

                                                    remembering

                                                 all those who

                                                            have left

                                                  have gone

                                                              away

                                             those we could have

                                                helped

                                                    but we didn't

                                            those who needed our

                                                help

                                                     but we didn't offer it

                                            those who we

                                                 helped

                                                     but not enough

                           we could've said

                                it's ok,

                           or even

                                it's gonna be alright

                                              but we didn't

                                                     and now it's too late

                                       Silence kills
