A Narrative Poem (See Deconstruction Guide at the end)
A unified and powerfully evocative piece that weaves original trio of poems — ‘Silenced by Money‘, ‘The Pen You Still Hold‘, and ‘Whispers Paid in Gold‘ into a single master poetry. This version is designed to captivate university level readers, poetry lovers, with its textured narrative, sociopolitical undertones, and moral resonance.

I wore the silence like Sunday lace,
threaded with courtroom dust and whispered names.
She held the silence like fire – not to burn, but to warm.
I fed my child with coins of shame,
paper wrapped around guilt, kissed with counterfeit grace.
The pen does not forgive – it remembers.
I inked my exile in verses too subtle for justice,
but bold enough to awaken memory.
He slept through trials I never spoke of,
yet the gavel still echoed beneath his crib.
Truth, once buried, blooms in the hands of the brave.
Elijah, child of withheld evidence,
carried innocence like a fragile scroll
smuggled past those who feared its unfolding.
They said: hush,
Justice is blind — better to leave her deaf too.

This is not confession;
this is a ledger of all the rooms
where evidence was traded for silence.
He witnessed what we weren’t meant to see:
a name redacted, a tape erased,
a body removed before the photograph.
But the pen still moves.
He grew into the voice I dared not use,
and found a mic where I found threats.
Let these whispers echo in lecture halls,
where minds stretch wide
enough to ask:
Who profits from silence?
Let love be louder next time.
Justice sings in broken harmonies — but it sings still.
