Fragmentary Silence

Symphonically_Amazed

"It's a poem based on history of "Black gang" also known as fire strokers who used to

put coal in furnaces of old ships during Steam age, they worked under unhealthy circumstances

this poem signifies their risky work under low wages and low profile, and how it's unfair"

 

"Silence" thy word it says

Peace of mind is its case.

 

"Exceptional" O' thy blunder

Is it really pleasure or a sham

It's what truth says 

not a lad.

 

Before I continue,

I mean no Hate, 

Let's start the year just with a convenient debate.

 

Ship with hundreds of vilipenders,

commanding the thousands of poor.

Filling Incinerators with fuel dusk,

Attaining problems of lifetime rust.

 

Tackling low wages with heavy pains,

Was the silence never something for their gain?  

 

Lucky one's above with high acquaintance,

Was the friendly environment only for their presence?

 

Being called luxury and silence is a bad one,

Partial Silence is a better term.

 

In this cruel world,

"Peace" is termed "eternal silence"

No matter cruel transfix.

 

Stronger hurts weaker for hedonism,

and they call it pacificism.

 

This world is cruel and charged with unacceptance,

Being partial cruel is the only way of subsistence.
