Dumbfounded

Silence prevailed in between,

Like a dreary dark night.

Not allowed to vent spleen.

I kept waiting that you might,

Listen to how haunted it had been.

But freedom of speech wasn’t my right.

You were always keen,

To pickup a cause and fight.

Never had you seen,

Expression of fright.

As I saw you turn green,

Then your taking a flight,

To hide behind a screen.

Least concerned of my plight.
