Please Hold

I waited for what seemed hours upon hours

To talk through a process and walk to a success

And find the answer to my query.

As lost as I was found, I couldn’t stand this shaky ground

I pleaded as a I needed for my question to be heeded

I heard these words that made me weary-

A disembodied voice left me no other choice:

“Please hold through the silence”

How long I waited, breath abated, my time belated-

On just a call – I saw it all – my life was the same ill-fated

The world outside my jaded window

Put me into a state of limbo

As I – as we – forewarned them all

To watch the earth before the fall

The silence became violence full of riot

Because we chose to keep our voices quiet.
