The Booming Sound of Silence


BOOM
The who's the whats and whys,
causing redness across my eyes.

BOOM
The images when I'm dreaming,
with voices continually screaming.

BOOM
Lots of people are pushing past,
and today just may be their last!

BOOM
Life has no special potion
to cure the bustle and commotion.

BOOM
It's pointless to point out the pain,
as I punch into the table again.

BOOM
BOOM
BOOM

Author notes

I hate everything loud, noisy, pushy people who ask lots of stupid questions.

and rather than lose myself in threatening behaviour against them, I take it out of my old oak table at home

    I like the style this has been written in and its rhyming scheme...it comes across as quite busy and noisy so couldn't understand the title, 'BOOM' would be just perfect for it...

    As I read the words I can actually hear the booming sound in my head, fists punching the table...also the hustle bustle of the crowd which always frustrates me when caught up in it...I like this very much
