Silence is kind. Noise is the worst form of Violence.
From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).
The last such message was: ‘Good Morning Message #106‘.
Good morning Friends,
Would you kill in the name of your religion?
Or commit rape or spit in someone’s face?
Similarly, you really don’t have a godly vision,
If by your noise you kill others’ private space.
Loudspeaker noise has exactly that evil effect,
It is a form of physical and mental violence;
Your own and everyone’s peace is wrecked,
God is always to be found through silence.
Our scriptures are full of anecdotes and tales,
Whence gods got annoyed through loud noise;
Clamour is the one that turned the scales,
And made even the gods lose their poise.
So lets shun noise both within and without,
And be kind to others in our neighbourhood;
If you are really a religious follower who’s devout,
You should be as calm and kind as God would.
Today is the day when we should take a pledge,
Never to use loudspeakers for our worship;
For Noise is the surest way to drive a wedge,
Between us and God and others in our township.
Let me wish you a gentle, kind and silent day,
Whence you actually come closer to your soul;
Shun all Noise that actually makes you go astray,
From being godly and religious, your chosen goal.
Silence leads to godliness.
