Silence

I like silence,

but not the one before the storm.

I like silence,

but not the one oppressing opinions.

I like silence,

but not the one tolerating violence behind closed doors. 

I like silence,

but not the one giving a parachute to the ego.

I like silence,

but not the one dividing nations.

I like silence,

but not the one used as a passive-aggressive tool to punish someone,

I like silence,

but not the one widening the rift between hearts.

I like silence,

but not the one forcing a person to stay in the closet.

I like silence,

but not the one dragging a life to death by suicide.
