Silence
Perhaps you are right perhaps I could have spoken more kindly or have spoken not at all But she had maligned my God whom I so highly adore and had misled my dear ones whom I so dearly love How could I not rebut these lies or not remain the man I am
Did you notice my words said nothing to the slander of her ridicule of my person That I cared less for myself than for my God and my dear ones than for Truth?
Yet I continue to wonder if more was afoot than seemed For your rebuke was solely to me As if I were sole instigator of this grief As if I alone had spoken unseemly I'd had higher faith in you than to overlook oft’ shown care than to overlook oft’ spoken praise than to call out but one of the several who may have spoken wrong that day What of the one, who thinks me a fool? What of the other, who thinks I care not? What of the friend, spewing lies as truth whom you rose to defend? Why did you not rebuke them? As you had rebuked me As you had accused me of judging As you had called me unloving
Why did you do this thing this way and push me into silence
