What... - June 12, 2000

What price is paid for peace,
when outer serenity masks
the inner turmoil?

What life is lived by half
when it is not your own?

What time is free to use
when it is filled by others?

What voice is heard aloud
when it is silenced from within?

What thoughts are kept apart
when they are all too crowded?
