or simplicity
somehow they become one
silence is simplicity simplicity is silence
in this world of radical and uprising
marches and anger
I must refuse all declarations in all honesty
I will never actually know
therefore no right of words to say earnestly
as if throwing my coattails for others to ride upon
no statements are expected of me this I know is true
but if I did speak out or write a poem like this one
there would be one with ears to hear the truth
nonetheless even now
this I know
I’ve been there
