356.Fleeting thoughts on SILENCE

When cacophony of sound is in vogue
Silence is treated as a rogue
Associated with depression,
Punishment,  pain and suppression. 
Silence has a negative connotation today
Promoting one's choice is the new mantra of the day.
Yet my heart shudders and grieves
And seeks a release from this catastrophe.
Longing for moments of silence. 
May I have some silence Please!!
……………………………………………………………
Silence makes us a savage
Noise is no more a garbage
Noise is the new virtue.
Silence is the price we pay
For our immersion in noise
Silence you are the real vice.
……………………………………………………………
I wonder
If you share my apathy;
Noise hurts my ears
I want to catch up on sleep
I want to ponder over my thoughts
I want to read and travel in silence.
Your ring tones, music and honks
Your tears, gossips and giggles assault
And invades my need for privacy.
Ah ! how I grieve for the loss of silence.
