And their silence is so loud our ears are ringing.

Ringing from the cries of our heroes

Heroes whose only crime was demanding for a better life

Life that ought to be sweet but has been sour for too long

Long enough to threaten our very existence

Existence that should be of essence in a sane world

World that ought to strive to be better and peaceful

Peaceful and generous to those with strong spirit

Spirit that pushes far beyond expectation but now sleeping in the spirit world

World of the permanently silent, silenced by several means

Means by which history is set,

Set on 20-10-2020 night

Night to remember not to forget that unjust murders were committed and

And their silence is so loud our ears remain ringing.

Quote

Peace is a façade working up a storm. The resolve to keep doing business as usual might as well start a volcano. Peace is not a wish but something we must work on morally, habitually and humanely
