Silence Is A Crime Comments

People will remember this poem for its openess and honesty. Silence is not only a crime but a stalker. Well written Mr Yiyan Han, I love it.

I wrote the poem 'Victim Choices Run Or Fight', inspired by the poem 'Silence Is A Crime', by the poet Yiyan Han and dedicated to the poet Yiyan Han.

I wrote the poem 'Nature Has Fight Or Flight Response Instincts', inspired by the poem 'Silence Is A Crime', by the poet Yiyan Han and dedicated to the poet Yiyan Han.

those that run are victims or those that fight and run away live to fight another day, those that fight defend win or die or revenge is a dish best served cold, run defend attack is often a numbers game, an individual will often lose where a group or gang may win, winning can be timing and a numbers game, bravery definitely counts

'When a stray zebra is attacked by lions Others in the herd flee at a full gallop While a pack of wild boars are threatened They'll launch a counter-attack to defend Their weak and young. The different attitude Has the different outcome' true attitude can be everything, I am told at night it is better to shout fire not rape, fire gets more people more support faster, sadly apparently true, loved your poem

Excellently worded. Very impressing. Indeed, Silence is a CRIME. We must be free to be able to speak out and report wjat happened. Brilliantly told. Thank you so much for sharing.

Try and translate it into English or another language.

I am moved by this brilliant piece of work that addresses a very sensible issue....a very timely voice against social injustice happening in many different parts of the world: Shout when suffering from the illegal law enforcement/Tell the world when a tyranny is brainwashing and fabricating facts/Tell the world when an autocratic regime is pushing its hidden agendas/Tell the world when rich rogues are buying conscience.....i appreciate the brilliant expression! Thanks for sharing!

It is vibrantly obvious that you are passionate about not reporting what you witness or what violence has happened to you. When a poet feels strongly his poem shouts from the roof-tops. 10

As geetha mam had told, The crime should never be encouraged. Even the juvenile crime is getting higher now a days. Nice poem.

Yiyan, this is a poem that is bold yet beautiful. Crime is a crime, it cannot be hidden or encouraged. It is not only the person who commits the crime is at fault, but also the persons who silently watches it. The human suffering has to be voiced and condemned. Very well written Yiyan.

To remain silent knowing that a crime is being committed is being an ally to the perpetrators, helping them in their evil ways! Mankind must be strong and truthful and expose the criminals, corruption, dictators and to make it impossible for them to succeed at their crimes! Powerful and superb write! !

''Stand up for freedom and justice'', yes, we all should. Unfortunately, not all of us, human beings, are keen to stand up against injustice - in its many forms... 'Poetry of Witness' -like this one- stands among the best 'voices' to help break silence. Cheers

Good rendition of words in an insightful piece of poetry elegantly brought forth with conviction. Brave condemnation of silence in the face of crime as an act of cowardice or simply as an error of omission. Thanks for sharing Yiyan.

That an evil abuser can commit crimes Over many years is often because some victims Have felt ashamed, kept quiet and given in.....Your poem carries a great message to the society! Many congratulations for penning such a precious write!

Silence is a crime sometimes. It can turn fatal also when it is needed to open up. For fear of courting someone's displeasure, we often keep quiet! This encourages wickedness, corruption and all social evils! Great write with a great message to stand up for justice and fairness!

Good message, and good message meant to be shared! Silence is a crime because it will make crime stronger because our failure to protect innocent!

A gallant write well executed. I totally agree with you. Stand up for freedom and justice. An amazing piece.10

We can no longer be silent. What a very important message! Very good poem, Yiyan!
