Quakers
Quakers
As pillars in a Grecian portico
they stood in sombre mood
Heads bowed low in uniformity
no flicker of recognition, no movement at all
A cohort of silence, awesome in might
a presence felt without action or deed
Columns of human inertia
exuding dignity and reverence
No voice, no protest, no disapproval
a presence profoundly felt
A statement silently and boldly made
for all to see but none to hear

the last two lines sums up the scenario world wide....v see the wrong happening in the society but no one voices it out, and if anyone stands to do so, the government knows how to silence that voice......phew!!!!
realistic poetry indeed!!!!
