Song Of Silence (1) Poem by George Sicillia

We are talking too much
Wasting words in a time
Our extravaganza life
Trap us in vanity delight

We are too busy to listen
For world's offerings are too delicious
We believe for what it says,
'This is life to die for'

We are too proud of being lost
Count our errs as His fault
Too confident to blame Him
And open our mouth to Him

But this is a time to keep in quiet
This is a time to be silent

For He looks at you when you wave your palm
and said, 'Hosiana to the King of King! '
He looks at you when you shout to Him
and said, 'Crucified Him! '

Now...
Look at your bloody God
In His severity pray for you,
'Father, forgave them, for they not recognized yet
what they have done'
Look at His wounds and open arms
In a perfect pain, could you hear a song of silence..
'I love you... I did it for you...'

'Coz this is His time to talk
and this is our time to listen
