Words are Golden

They say,
silence is golden,
the phrase commonly
depicted on shiny laminated
posters hung in libraries,
where indeed,
silence is often better.

But,
I ask you,
have you ever stayed silent
against your wishes,
had no freedom to speak
as you wish
to write
as you wish
all in the name of silence?

Words are what binds us
to the expression
of everyday life.
We laugh, cry
and live.

We study the
philosophy of tomorrow
and today,
the words on the page
often difficult to understand
but if we persevere,
we can do it.

How can we express ourselves
without words?

How can we learn the great of tomorrow
and today?

So I declare,
that everyday
is a day
where words
are truly
golden.

Wow. That was lengthy. I hope you enjoy it though! Really.
