Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Silence of Truth

Silent is most humanity.

To the truth most are deaf and blind,

Believing the lies silently,

As hate infects all humankind.

The talking and the hearing of

The lies and hate does dominate.

Use and abuse of the word, "love,"

Is failure to communicate

For any true peace and good will,

Silenced by reality so

Is an impossible dream still,

As liars and haters all know.

The sound of silence will come, for

Humanity will be no more.
