Silent: Quiet: Broken Poem by Spanner Thegob

Silent: Quiet: Broken

Silent men, without voice,
Quiet men, without hope,
Broken men,
Truth has fractured the heart, broken the spirit.
Whispered orisons unanswered
gently and completely retreat into hurt to silence men

silent men fade into solitude to become quiet men,
quiet men, Enchained in This prison become broken men,
broken Men, created and defined by circumstance.

As the inner child becomes silent and dies,
grief sits silently, rules and responsibilities
become new chains and bars to shackle those
Quiet, Silent, Broken men.
Somewhere in these quiet moments
we remember the inner child
the Silent child, the Broken child.

And as we sit with those two familiar old friends
Loneliness and heartache,
pain transforms into wisdom,
And the silent moon, its only witness
listens to a fractured heart lament for silent, quiet men.
Broken men,

caught between emptiness and waiting men who suffer in silence,
Must each Learn to face the storm with calm.
Silent Men.
Quiet Men.
Broken men.
