SILENCE!

 OH! What a wonderful thought!

Silence can now be bought!

How nice!

But at what price?

A mere chip

Silences every blip -

even a slip of the lip?

How nice!

But at what price?

Can we silence slander or curse?

Will it improve relationsor make loneliness worse?

Can it silence intruders or invaders too?

Would that make it safer for me and you?

Is this silence bubble

conducive to peace or trouble?

Sounds nice

But at what price?
