No courage to say
The right words
To the right person
Dumbness affected
Muscles of face
Buried under palaver
Over and over
People belch out
Empty words
Sentient creatures use speech
That stick like a vile leech
Dumb animals seem wiser
Degrade. More words of low grade
With pleasure I fade
There is no reason to stay
Better to do
Than to say
Time to get
Under way
Silence is waiting for me
Mentally quiet and free
Forced to dwell
In the town
In droning crowd
I drown
Incredibly hard to be
Mentally quiet and free
