In a restless campaign I trod alone
Narrow streaks of insolence my own
‘Neath the halo of ego upward ramped
I turned my collar up and harrumphed
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a Hillary light
That split the night
And torched the sound of silence
And in the campaign light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People rioting without thinking
People fighting without listening
People writing slurs that voices never share
No one dare
Disturb the sound of silence
“Fools” said I, “You do not know
Tweeting like a cancer grows
Hear my words but don’t impeach me
Accept my laws that will probably make you hate me”
But my words like inciting raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silenceAnd the people bowed and prayed
To the Trumply god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was formenting
And the sign said “The words of tweeting Trump
Are written on the subway walls
And the Congressional halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence”
