Psalm 39: Silence is Dyspeptic
I kept quiet because I knew,
Because I knew they would not hear.
They never asked for my advice,
And I chose not to wound their pride.
But silence is more than a choice.
I tried to keep the peace but lost,
Not just the winning argument,
But the silence of my silence.
I only regained quietude
When I spoke up for what was right.
