The Beautiful Silence Of Our World.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

everything in us is already
visible.
in this high-tech-world
there is no more privacy.
we all know this.
what sites we visited.
all those "secret browsing"
are not secrets anymore.
we choose who we are, but
we cannot choose what we
had been, and what leanings
do we have. We erect walls,
but there are simply no walls
for now.
you know who you are, and you
may pretend what you are not.
we know that, and with due
respect, we call you the name
that you want. We accord you
the civility, behind all those
lewdness, which we too possess,
we decorate it with flowers.
we put some paints in the walls.
the colors you want, we give
it the sound of birds, and the
scents of summer, the way you
want it. Your secrets are our
secrets and that i what respect
is all about. The world knows,
but it is better known for its
beautiful silence.
