Silence Speaks

Words alone do not relay!
Often silence will convey!
A gesture, frown, smile or tear,
Can imply happiness,pain or fear!

Silence, when they question you,
Shows ignorance and the fear of "TRUE"!
A handshake, nod and special smile,
Can speak of friendship and beguile!

Silence, about a harmful deed,
Confuses issues! Plants a "distrust" seed!
Such ugly secrets, that bring shame,
To everyone, who does the same!

Your silence SHOUTS, so loud and clear!!
You've no courage....can't face fear!
Silence has a better place,
When you look toward GOD's FACE!

In silence, HE will instruct and bless,
To this HOLY SILENCE....I say "YES!"
Silence shows respect, at times,
It's a quiet, meditative sign!

Silence can speak, in many a way,
When concentrating and when I pray!
Words and actions speak clearly, too!
Be careful what they say about you!!

It is a very cruel form of punishment and an instrument of "control", when
someone uses "the silent treatment", to ignore and abuse another person. It
leaves no outer signs, to prove mistreatment, but like abusive language,
can leave lasting scars.....causing someone, to feel less than human....to
rob them of their dignity. Even an animal should receive better treatment!
The one who practises this, only proves his ignorance and lack of
understanding.....and after years of this, I tried it on the
perpetrator......for five minutes.....!!! He was FURIOUS!

Apparently, these "silent, indifferent zombies" can dish it out....but,
they definitely can't take it. They have not learned to "treat others as
you would have them treat you." The Golden Rule.....manners......respect
for life......compassion.....have, like the dinosaurs, become extinct, in
our modern society. Due to this, people are under constant stress and spend
large amounts of time and money, on trying to relieve their symptoms. What
a sad way to live!!
