SteemitPoetryContest#2 "COSTLY SILENCE"

With raging turbulence; I kept my silence,
Without an iota of peace; I maintained my ease;
Ticklish the life looks; insufficiency pervading us like ripple brooks;
We trudged through it; but with every fibre of strength we will beat it.

With raging turbulence; we have long kept our silence;
Politicians riding roughshod on us; afoul is the atmospheric ambience;
Prevalent poverty and privation…that has been our collective existence;
Our patrimony they fleece; they fritter it without conscience.

Anon, the ice we will break; their foul deeds we need to amplify,
Advocacy for culpable punishment we will need to intensify
A law consuming them we will propose to ratify,
But, we still keep our silence and still praising them high.

This is a deafening silence from the part of the citizens which has been costing us for far too long. The silence must be broken and we must make our voices heard.
Thank you for reading.
