Sound of Silence
I loathe the sound of silence,
the heavy thudding beats of silence
that pound steadily in my head.
it makes me question my sanity
for it is louder than my self,
louder than prison sirens,
louder than howling dogs in the dead of the night!
I tune the sub hoofer
and push the volume to its maximum,
but still the sound of silence surpasses it,
the throbbing beats of the hoofer aren't enough
to muffle the thumping
drumbeats of silence in my head
all i can hear booming in my head like African thunder
is the silence!
